Giraffe manor

A historic manor house nestled in the leafy suburbs of Kenya’s capital city and true haven for lovers of wildlife, fine dining and exceptional service. Its unforgettable bucket-list breakfast with giraffes will delight guests of all ages. Enjoy afternoon tea with endangered Rothschild’s giraffes, indulge in a massage and visit local attractions.

Giraffe Manor is an exclusive boutique hotel, owned by The Safari Collection. Often referred to as one of the most instagrammed properties in the world, Giraffe Manor is set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi. Giraffe Manor is one of Nairobi’s most iconic buildings.

The original manor house was built in 1932 and has six rooms: Betty, Daisy, Jock, Lynn, Marlon and the Karen Blixen Suite. Since the acquisition of the Giraffe Manor in April 2009, The current owners  have turned this property into one of the most sought-after hotels in the world. They have lovingly remodelled the interiors with a passion to ensure that the manor retained its 1930s character and charming history. An original art deco bathroom, antique furniture and the names of each room all reveal something of the manor’s colourful past.

In 2011, a new section of the manor was created – The Garden Manor – which sits right next door. Although built 78 years later, it was built using reclaimed materials from the period in which the original manor was built and its design replicates that of the main house. The Garden Manor also has six lovely guest rooms: Salma, Edd, Arlene, Helen, Kelly and the Finch Hatton Suite..

Each room enjoys views over the sanctuary and the giraffe experience offered to guests is the same regardless of which area of the house they are staying in -– the resident giraffes enjoy daily visits to both buildings in search of treats! The primary difference is that the Garden Manor was created to provide accommodation exclusively for guests of the Safari Collection’s portfolio of properties, so that the main house can be kept as accessible as possible to all.
