Giraffe Manor

Set within 12 acres of private land in Nairobi, Giraffe Manor is one of Kenya’s most exclusive boutique hotels, celebrated globally for its resident herd of endangered Rothschild’s giraffes. Housed in a charming 1930s manor house, the property blends colonial-era elegance with unforgettable wildlife encounters, creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience for guests from around the world. The manor’s old-world interiors, featuring art deco furnishings, four-poster beds, and grand dining rooms, exude a sense of timeless luxury. Yet it is the giraffes themselves that make the stay truly unique—these gentle giants roam freely across the grounds, often poking their heads through the dining room windows at breakfast or afternoon tea, delighting guests with the opportunity to feed them up close. Beyond its hospitality, Giraffe Manor is closely linked to the Giraffe Centre, a conservation initiative dedicated to protecting the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe and supporting broader environmental education efforts in Kenya. Guests enjoy not only luxury accommodations but also the chance to contribute to wildlife preservation directly through their stay. With its combination of history, conservation, and boutique luxury, Giraffe Manor has become one of Africa’s most photographed properties and a bucket-list destination for travelers seeking both elegance and adventure in Nairobi.
