Females stand between 12 and 16 feet. Males range from 14 to18 typically though they can get taller as noted.
There are actually many species of giraffe. Most are differentiated by color pattern and horn number (particularly the later).

The tallest was 19.2 feet
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giraffe
"The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land-living animal species. Males can be 4.8 to 5.5 metres (16 to 18 feet) tall and weigh up to 1,360 kilograms (3,000 pounds). The record-sized bull was 5.87 m (19.2 feet) tall and weighed approximately 2,000 kg (4,400 lbs.). Females are generally slightly shorter and weigh less than the males do."
