The Masai giraffe inhabits East African savannas and open woodland, chiefly in Kenya and Tanzania. Dark patches with irregular, jagged edges distinguish it. A long neck and tall legs aid browsing on trees and shrubs.

It eats leaves, shoots, flowers, fruit and bark. It lives in loose groups whose membership changes as animals move between feeding grounds.
