As one of the most iconic buildings in Nairobi, the Giraffe Manor has an extraordinary appeal!
It dates back to the 1930 decade, when European visitors first met in East Africa to enjoy safaris.

It features an imposing façade, elegant interior, sunny terraces and charming courtyards.
But that is not all!
The most fascinating thing about Giraffe Manor is the herd of resident giraffes that visit guests in the morning and evening. They invade the windows with their long necks ... hoping for a treat, or a snack before retreating to their forest sanctuary.

"No food, no friendship", is what a Giraffes center coach alerts. So always have something on hand as you approach the giraffes. If not, these will ignore you or even give you a butt. (LOL)

HISTORY
The boutique hotel covered with foliage was built on 1930 by Sir David Duncan. And bought in the 1970 decade by Jock Leslie-Melville and his wife Betty.
On the verge of extinction, Jock and Betty moved two highly endangered baby Rothschild giraffes to the property. All as part of a breeding program,. This is in the hope of releasing breeding couples back into the wild to ensure future generations. It's called the Giraffe Center program.

The center has a reproduction program, a museum and ecological trails. In addition to an observation deck where tourists can find and feed the elegant Rothschild giraffes.
And the program gave excellent results!
From the time the couple started with this initiative, the number of giraffes grew from 120 to around 1.200.
In addition, the African Endangered Wildlife Fund (AFEW) operates conservation and education programs for Kenyan children and visitors from around the world.
Impact: For each guest staying at Giraffe Manor, a donation is made to the Fund - (AFEW) and its conservation projects.

The wonderful integration of the giraffes into the house creates a unique opportunity for guests to see the best of both sides of Africa in a memorable experience.

The Hotel is one of the most coveted choices in all of East Africa. It is for this reason that availability for the Giraffe Manor is very difficult. It is necessary to start checking to ensure a vacancy of at least 6 months in advance.

Breakfast is undoubtedly one of the most fun topics. You can eat a mouth-watering menu, but you are also likely to be interrupted by one of the friendly giraffes.
For lunch there are several light options. And in the evening, refreshing cocktails served around a fire, followed by excellent gourmet dinners in the inviting dining room.
