Tucked away in the quiet suburb of Lang’ata, just 40 minutes from Nairobi’s bustling city center, Giraffe Manor is more than just a place to stay—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This historic boutique hotel, set in a 1930s colonial-style mansion, is globally celebrated for its resident herd of endangered Rothschild giraffes who roam the grounds freely and famously poke their heads through the windows at breakfast and tea time.

The manor is part of The Safari Collection and sits on 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest, offering guests a serene and intimate experience with nature. The building itself is steeped in history and exudes charm with its ivy-clad façade, antique furnishings, and elegant rooms that blend classic English style with African warmth.

Guests are treated to a unique opportunity to hand-feed and interact with the giraffes from their bedroom windows, the breakfast table, or even the front steps. This rare interaction combines luxury hospitality with conservation and education, as the property supports the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife, a conservation initiative aimed at protecting giraffes.

Each of the 12 rooms is individually styled, offering four-poster beds, en-suite bathrooms, and large windows that frame the gardens and forest beyond. Dining is equally refined, with gourmet meals served in beautifully set dining areas—often shared with curious giraffes leaning in for a treat.

Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, beginning a luxury Kenyan safari, or simply want to immerse yourself in one of the most iconic wildlife encounters in Africa, Giraffe Manor offers an experience that is truly unmatched.
