The Giraffe Manor Kenya: A Unique and Unforgettable Safari Experience

The Giraffe Manor Kenya, an exclusive boutique hotel owned by The Safari Collection, is one of Kenya’s most iconic and charming properties. Located in Nairobi, the manor is home to a resident herd of Rothschild’s giraffes, who often make appearances during morning and evening hours. These gentle giants are famous for poking their long necks through the windows in search of treats, creating a magical and intimate wildlife encounter that guests cherish forever.
A stay at Giraffe Manor is a must for animal lovers and those seeking a blend of luxury, history and wildlife. The manor itself is a beautifully restored 1930s colonial building set amidst lush grounds with gardens and woodlands. Beyond the giraffes, guests can enjoy personalized service, elegant rooms and exquisite cuisine.

What to Expect During Your Visit

The highlight of a stay is undoubtedly the morning and evening giraffe feeding sessions. Imagine sipping your breakfast or afternoon tea as giraffes gently nibble leaves from your hand or peer inside through the windows—an experience that’s both playful and serene. Staff guide you through the interaction, ensuring it is safe and respectful for both guests and animals.
In addition to giraffe interactions, you can explore the surrounding woodlands with guided nature walks, visit nearby attractions like the Karen Blixen Museum or relax in the manor’s tranquil setting.

Accommodation at Giraffe Manor: Why You Should Stay Overnight

To truly soak in the magic of the manor, it’s best to stay overnight. A day visit simply doesn’t capture the full experience.

The manor offers a range of charming rooms, from cozy suites to the exclusive family cottage, all featuring elegant décor and modern comforts.
