Longneck Manor
It’s not what you’d expect to find in Texas, but this nonprofit conservation foundation is a place where you can visit giraffes and rhinos that roam a vast fenced-in space and are extremely well tended to. The goal here is to raise awareness and funds to help wildlife conservation initiatives in Africa. Founded by a conservationist who helped design Disney’s Animal Kingdom, visitors (ages 12 and over) can also stay overnight in four villas with picture windows to maximize viewing and learn as much as they can from the animal caregivers.
