What an unforgettable 24 hours!

Last night's "A Wild Evening" fundraiser brought together an incredible group of supporters who share our belief that wildlife conservation matters. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, important funds were raised to help launch Phase 3 of Longneck Manor, including the future Rhino Conservation Center and Okapi Forest Habitat.

We were honored to spend the evening with Joel Sartore and Bradley Trevor Greive, whose passion, humor, and storytelling inspired all of us to think bigger about conservation and our role in protecting wildlife.

Most importantly, we are deeply grateful to every donor, sponsor, volunteer, and staff member who helped make the evening possible. Your support is helping turn a bold vision into reality.

And the momentum didn't stop there.

This morning, we officially broke ground on the next chapter of Longneck Manor.

The future is taking shape, and we can't wait to share the journey with you.

Some destinations entertain you.

Others stay with you long after you've returned home.

At Longneck Manor, luxury is more than beautiful accommodations and personalized hospitality. It's watching giraffes outside your window. It's slowing down long enough to appreciate the natural world. It's sharing meaningful experiences that create lasting memories.

As an AZA-accredited conservation destination, every animal encounter is rooted in education, responsible animal care, and a mission to protect wildlife around the world.

If you're looking for more than a typical getaway, we'd love to welcome you.

🦒 Luxury accommodations
🦏 Unforgettable animal encounters
🌎 A meaningful conservation mission

🦒 What if your vacation could make a difference?

At Longneck Manor, every visit supports something bigger than a memorable day with animals. Through the Longneck Manor Conservation Foundation, 100% of tour ticket proceeds help support exceptional animal care, conservation education, and wildlife conservation projects around the world.

To date, we've donated more than $500,000 to boots-on-the-ground organizations protecting wildlife.

Yes, you'll meet giraffes. Yes, you'll experience rhinos up close. But you'll also leave knowing your visit helped create real conservation impact.

Because the best adventures don't just create memories—they create a legacy.

💛 Plan your visit today and be part of something meaningful. Share this with someone who would love to experience giraffes and rhinos up close?

Some moments don't need words.

Just a Texas sky, a gentle breeze, and a tower of giraffes moving quietly through the pasture.

In a world that seems to move faster every day, places that invite us to slow down, look up, and appreciate the beauty around us have never been more important. That's what Longneck Manor is all about—creating meaningful moments that connect people with wildlife, conservation, and each other.

Because the best memories aren't always the loudest. Sometimes they're simply the ones that make us pause and feel grateful. 🦒💛

What is something that helps you slow down and appreciate the moment?

World Giraffe Day is June 21st. We invite you to join us in protecting theses amazing creatures. Every tour and every overnight stay contributes to our mission of wildlife conservation.

Big things are happening at Longneck Manor. 🦏

This new rhino shade structure may look like a simple construction project, but it's actually one of the first visible steps toward our next major chapter: the future Rhino Conservation Center.

As we continue planning for Phase 3 of Longneck Manor, every improvement helps us provide exceptional animal care while expanding our conservation impact.

A special thank you to DR Welding here in Fredericksburg, Texas. They've been part of the Longneck Manor story for years, helping bring countless projects to life with craftsmanship, reliability, and a commitment to doing things right.

We couldn't be more excited about what's ahead for our rhinos—and for the future of conservation at Longneck Manor.

What are you most excited to see in the next phase of Longneck Manor?

FIVE YEARS! And we're just getting started. You'll be hearing a bit about this significant milestone in the next few days. We are so excited to celebrate how far we've come.

Big thanks go out to all of our friends, family, generous donors, staff (current and former), and of course, all of our guests who, simply by their visit are helping us spread the message of wildlife conservation.

According to Kafele, the SPURS are taking Game 1. 🦒

Will he be right? Tune in tonight to find out.
