Giraffe Manor is an exceptional boutique hotel between Nairobi and the Ngong Hills Nature Reserve. It’s reminiscent of 1930s grandeur, with art deco features, elegant furnishings, four-poster beds, green gardens, terraces, and beautiful courtyards. The property is on 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest.
The Giraffe Manor Hotel is an iconic historical building from the 1930s. In 1974, animal activists Jock and Betty Leslie-Melville purchased the property and developed the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife to rear and re-introduce Rothschild giraffes to the wild.

Guests enjoy full-board during their stay, including all meals and drinks. But the most incredible and unique thing about the hotel is:

that giraffes freely roam about! Ten giraffes live on the property!
Warthogs live here, too!
The giraffes might try to kiss you.
The friendly giraffes will pop their heads in for a visit several times during the day.
Stroll across the lawn to the AFEW Giraffe Centre to learn about the endangered Rothschild Giraffe or walk around the sanctuary.
Have you ever had breakfast with a giraffe or two?
Giraffes come to eat carrots and Lucerne grass and to lick salt blocks.
Guests are encouraged to feed them pellets and vegetables. So be prepared!
But sometimes they like to help themselves.
The mansion has ten elegantly designed rooms and high-vaulted ceilings.
It can accommodate up to 25 people.
