OVERVIEW
Yes, you can really wake up to find a giraffe peering into your window or have them wanting to share your breakfast! One of the most sought-after places to stay in Nairobi, Giraffe Manor offers the unique experience of staying in a historic building with a herd of highly endangered Rothschild’s giraffes – many of whom are family – wandering the grounds. They’re so habituated to humans that they happily interact with guests.
A cosy stopover, all the rooms are differently laid out and some have balconies from which to feed the giraffes. The beautiful forested grounds brim with native birds – ideal for stretching your legs. Giraffe Manor is a once-in-a-lifetime experience where expert hospitality is matched by an unquestionable conservation ethos.
