Introduction

A small and exclusive hotel ranked up there with the best in Africa, Giraffe Manor is famed for its luxurious accommodation, friendly staff, one of Nairobi's finest kitchens and of course, let us not forget the main attractions, those rare Rothschild Giraffes.

The only place on planet Earth where one can interact, feed and photography giraffe as they stick their heads through the front door and windows over breakfast tables.

Note; should one be interested in spending a few nights here, please look at booking well in advance. When we say Giraffe Manor is popular, we mean it.

On a side note, Giraffe Manor is one of the very few properties on the African continent that is included in a whole host of "bucket list" experiences. To spend a night or two here is to be spoilt rotten.

Activities

Access to the on-site AFEW Giraffe Centre is included in one's stay, most probably one of the main reasons for staying at Giraffe Manor in the first place. A short stroll through the grounds away, the centre offers up all sorts of information on the rare Rothschild Giraffe.

High tea on the lawns in front of the manor house while resident giraffes and warthogs forage nearby is an activity most certainly not to be missed.

Nairobi National Museum
Nairobi National Park
