Giraffe Manor is one of the most popular accommodation choices in the whole of Eastern Africa. Full of character and steeped in history, its ivy-clad buildings are set in 12 acres of private land and are surrounded by 140 acres of indigenous forest. Reminiscent of its 1930s "Out of Africa" heydays, it is named for its resident herd of Rothschild giraffe that often pop in for a visit.
Giraffe Manor is an exclusive boutique hotel located in the Langata suburb of Nairobi, Kenya. It is the accommodation of choice for travelers before or after a Masai Mara or Serengeti safari.
As one of Nairobi’s most iconic buildings, Giraffe Manor has extraordinary appeal. It is set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest, harking back to the 1930s when European visitors flocked to East Africa to enjoy safaris. With its stately façade, elegant interior, verdant gardens, sunny terraces, and charming courtyards, Giraffe Manor offers a unique experience. A particularly fascinating element of your stay will involve its resident herd of Rothschild giraffe, who may visit in the morning and evening, sometimes poking their long necks through windows in search of a treat, before retreating back to their forest sanctuary.
The hotel’s 12 rooms each boast their own distinct personality, elegant furnishings, and Art Deco features.
A short stroll across the property’s lawns brings you to the AFEW Giraffe Centre, where you can learn about these beautiful and endangered creatures and enjoy a guided walk around the sanctuary. The Manor can also arrange a variety of optional local excursions for guests.
