Former NBA player and Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki is in Kenya.
Nowitzki posted a photo feeding a giraffe at the Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, joking about the height difference.
"Finally I got to ask the worst question ever: "How’s the air up there…"
He is 7 ft 0 in (2.13 m).
The 44-year-old is married to Jessica Olsson, who has Kenyan roots.
Olsson's mother is Kenyan, from Nanyuki while her father is Swedish.
Nowitzki last visited the country in 2020, when he accompanied German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier during his three-day visit to the country.

Nowitzki, who is originally from German, has played 21 seasons in the NBA and led the Mavericks to 15 NBA playoff appearances, including its only NBA championship in 2011.
He is considered to be the greatest European player of all time and one of the greatest power forwards of all time.
The former basketball player won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award in 2007 and the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award in 2011.
He is the only player ever to play for a single NBA franchise for 21 seasons.
Nowitzki is set to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in August.
Amazing class! So humbled and honored https://t.co/Xa2CaqweA6
