The calves are put inside the circular formation, followed by the females and at the perimeter, the large bulls look outwards for trouble.
A lone old giraffe male straddles the road and won’t give an inch. The stubborn giraffe will force you to drive around him as he stands smack in the middle of the game drive track.
