Longneck Manor is a one-of-a-kind wildlife conservation resort just outside Fredericksburg, where luxury lodging meets unforgettable animal encounters. This 110-acre conservation project pairs boutique accommodations with the chance to feed and meet giraffes, white rhinos, and other rescued animals, all in support of endangered-species conservation.
Founded by conservationist Rick Barongi and endorsed by the late Dr. Jane Goodall, Longneck Manor lets guests get remarkably close to some of the world's most magnificent creatures under expert supervision. Stay overnight for the full "sleep with the giraffes" experience, or visit for a guided animal encounter. Every visit directly supports conservation efforts, making it a stay you'll feel good about long after you've checked out.
