Hello,

I've never done it myself (it's been years since I went to BG) but would the Serengeti Safari Experience be what you mean?

I got this from the Busch Gardens website:

Have you ever wanted to see your reflection in the eyes of a giraffe?

This wild expedition puts you in the center of the action! Discover first-hand just how long a giraffe’s tongue is while giving them a leafy snack. You will become immersed in the Serengeti experience as your tour guide shares intriguing information and personal stories about the amazing wildlife. Unlock the mystery to the eland antelope’s mysterious clicking, discover the naturalistic beauty of the Serengeti Plain, and experience the thrill of feeding antelopes and giraffes. Be prepared for amazing photo opportunities; this Adventure creates memories that last a lifetime!

Hi
For my wifes 40th I arrange for her to be a keeper for the day at Marwell Zoo which is not that far from you.
It was £180 for the day but you are only the big Four OOO once.
It was a great day and the children and I got some great pictures and video of her feeding the Giraffes and various over animals Monkeys bats to name just a few.
her Fav. animal is the giraffe so they gave her ages in that area. any question you are welcome to PM me.

I have done this and it was absolutely fantastic.

You have a short briefing and then go out in the back of a truck. The staff have plenty of the various animal feeds and you get to hand feed a giraffe(or two). The crew member will take photograpjhs for you.

Strangely enough, a giraffe cannot bite you as they have no lower teeth.

You can feed giraffes & elephants at Colchester zoo for nothing but entrance cost.

We did hte Serengeti Safari at Busch Gardens a couple of years ago. It was a great experience, well worth the money and feeding the giraffes was brilliant. Your son-in-law would love it
