Giraffe Manor

Giraffe Manor, an exclusive boutique hotel in Nairobi, offers an unforgettable experience where extraordinary wildlife encounters blend with exquisite hospitality. Nestled within 12 acres of private land and surrounded by 140 acres of indigenous forest, this historic manor dating back to the 1930s is renowned for its resident herd of Rothschild’s giraffes. These gentle giants frequently visit the manor, poking their long necks into windows in anticipation of treats, creating truly magical moments for guests. The manor plays a crucial role in giraffe conservation, actively participating in a breeding program that has significantly increased the population of the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe. Every stay directly contributes to these vital conservation efforts. Guests can enjoy elegant interiors, verdant gardens, and sunny terraces, evocative of a bygone era and often likened to stepping into the film "Out of Africa." Beyond direct giraffe interactions, Giraffe Manor provides a serene escape with its wellness center, The Retreat, offering spa treatments, a hot tub, sauna, steam room, and gym. As part of The Safari Collection, it serves as an ideal base for tailor-made Kenyan safaris, promising a unique blend of luxury, wildlife, and a deep commitment to preserving Africa's natural heritage.
