Giraffe Manor

Giraffe Manor is an exclusive boutique hotel set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi. As one of Nairobi’s most iconic buildings, Giraffe Manor offers extraordinary appeal that harks back to the 1930s, when European visitors first flocked to East Africa for safaris. With its stately façade, elegant interior, verdant green gardens, sunny terraces, and delightful courtyards, guests often feel like they are walking into the film Out of Africa; indeed, one of its six suites is named after the author Karen Blixen.

The most fascinating feature of Giraffe Manor is its herd of resident Rothschild giraffes who visit morning and evening, poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary. Giraffe Manor can be booked for the night or as part of a complete tailor-made safari with The Safari Collection.
