They're Baringo or Rothschild's Giraffes found in Uganda (near Lake Baringo). They're similar to Reticulated Giraffes (G.c.reticulatus) of (neighboring) Kenya, but are smaller (the smallest subspecies of giraffe) and have no markings on their white legs, making them look as if they're wearing stockings.
