The babies will join the three other male adults and the zoo, and Clare Porteous, Ungulates Supervisor at Chessington, said the whole team were keen to meet them.
Speaking to ITV News, she said: "We're very excited to have Oscar and Napoli joining our Giraffe family here at Chessington.
"We have such a lovely area for the giraffe to call home, so we jumped at the chance to welcome two new additions. We look forward to seeing Oscar and Napoli bond with our current giraffe and grow into healthy adult males."
