excerpt: "Giraffe Manor is an exclusive boutique hotel, set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in a peaceful suburb of Nairobi. This elegant hotel is famous for its resident herd of Rothschild's giraffes who visit morning and evening, poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat. It is the only place in the world where you can enjoy the breath taking experience of hand feeding and photographing giraffes over the breakfast table and at afternoon tea. The Rothschild’s species of giraffe was once highly endangered, but Giraffe Manor has long been part of a breeding programme which has successfully grown their numbers in the wild. With its stately façade, elegant interiors, green gardens, sunny terraces and delightful courtyards, Giraffe Manor offers a unique blend of world class hospitality with bucket-list giraffe experiences unlike anywhere else. A stunning swimming pool, spa rooms, hot tub, steam rooms, sauna and gym are available to guests at The Retreat which right next door on the same forested giraffe sanctuary."

Giraffe Manor is a boutique hotel like no other. It combines unbelievable encounters with its resident herd of giraffes with incredible hospitality, fine dining and superb wellness facilities, to offer the most unforgettable stays. Located in a leafy suburb of Nairobi on a 140-acre forested sanctuary, it is within easy access of the main airports and all of the city’s top attractions. This makes it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a showstopping start or end to their East African safari. The giraffes are the stars of the show at Giraffe Manor, and close-up encounters with them over breakfast and afternoon tea are magical. The inquisitive giraffes are always keen to be hand fed. Giraffe conservation is a big part of the story and the manor has been part of a breeding programme for endangered Nubian/Rothschild’s giraffes since before it became a hotel. It also supports the conservation of wild giraffes across the continent through its Giraffe Sponsorship Programme. The Garden Manor is the newer part of Giraffe Manor created in 2011 and has six stunning ensuite bedrooms. The resident giraffes regularly enjoy visiting both parts of the manor for treats. The Retreat at Giraffe Manor is the newest addition to the property, located on the same forested sanctuary just next door. It offers stunning day room and wellness facilities, including a swimming pool (often visited by the giraffes), two spa treatment rooms, a hot tub, steam room, sauna and gym.
