Texas Hotel with Giraffes in Room, This Is Where It Happens

Wake up to giraffes outside your window and baby water buffalo outside your door. At Giraffe Inn & Safari, our stays offer more than views. They offer real animal moments. If you’ve searched for a Texas hotel with giraffes in room, you’ve found one of the only places where that’s possible.

A Real-Life Giraffe Experience: Texas Families Talk About 

This isn’t a guided walk with a quick photo. It’s a giraffe experience Texas guests remember because the animals move freely here. From the deck, in the petting zoo, or right up to your window, giraffes are part of your day from morning to night.

We offer different ways to see them up close, safely, and calmly:

  • Barn suites with views/ feeding from your room
  • Rooftop dining with giraffe
  • Feeding decks for giraffe snack times
  • Walk-up zones near petting and encounter areas
  • VIP encounter with you sitting in the back of a side by side feeding and petting our 16 foot gentle giant.

Try the Popular Giraffe Feeding Experience and More Animal Moments

Our giraffe feeding experience is available all day and allows guests to safely offer snacks to these calm, curious animals. It's quiet, easy, and one of the most direct ways to spend time with giraffes.

But it doesn’t stop there. You can also:

  • Feed kangaroos and camels in walk-through sections
  • Up close and personal VIP encounter with lemurs, sloth , and kangaroo
  • Watch kangaroos graze outside shaded rest zones
  • Visit the petting area with water buffalo, mini cows, and more

Whether you're staying for a day or sleeping on site, the animals are always around, just doing what they do naturally.

Don’t Miss the Friendly Faces at the Giraffe Petting Zoo

For hands-on time, our giraffe petting zoo offers a supervised space for younger guests to connect with friendly animals. It’s an easy walk from most cabins and gives children a chance to get close to animals they’ve only seen in books or photos.

Stay in a Hotel with Animals Outside Window, Not Across a Fence

One of the most talked-about parts of staying here? You're actually in a hotel with animals outside window views, not looking from afar. These aren’t background scenes, they’re part of the land, part of your stay, and often part of your photos.

This Is the Hotel in Texas with Giraffes People Search For
