Can you keep a giraf as a pet?
Absolutely you can buy giraffes. There are many things you need to consider when buying this, or any other "exotic" animal. Do you have enough room for the animal? What about feeding it and providing proper veterinary care? I mean what are the odds that the animal will go from birth to death not needing some care? Dont think for a second that your local vet. will be equiped or willing to take care of your exotic. Food is a subject all on its own. If the animal is from another country, or another continent all-together, feeding it could be extremely difficult and/or expensive. Many animals require specific diets, which now you would have to figure out what it is - and how to go about providing it.
There are many questions you would need to really ask yourself, but the answer to most "can I buy..." questions is yes, for a price.
I'd be more interested in renting, say for a bachelor party.

They also feed on grass and fruits. They dont prefer grass much because, they have to bend down to graze, which isnt so easy if we consider its size.
