Giraffe Manor

Giraffe Manor is set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi, an hour away from the airport.

From 1930s hunting lodge, to pioneering the conservation of endangered Rothschild’s giraffes in the 1970s, to one of the world’s most iconic boutique hotels, this hotel has one hell of a story, and the writing is on the walls.

The Manor House

The historic 6 bedroom Manor House has extraordinary appeal that harks back to the 1930s when visitors first flocked to East Africa to enjoy safaris. Guests often remark that it’s like walking into Out of Africa: indeed, one of its twelve rooms is named after the author, Karen Blixen.

The Garden Manor

In 2011, a new section of the manor was created – The Garden Manor – which sits right next door. Although built 78 years later, Tanya and Mikey used reclaimed materials from the period in which the original manor was built and its design replicates that of the main house. The Garden Manor also has six lovely guest rooms.

Breakfast with Giraffes

Waking up to breakfast with a giraffe is a unique experience. Depending on where you are staying, you will have breakfast either in the Main Manor or in the Garden Manor breakfast room, but don’t worry, the giraffes know exactly where to find you!
