I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit Giraffe Manor in Africa, and let me tell you, it was an experience like no other. This exclusive boutique hotel is nestled in the Langata suburb of Nairobi, Kenya, and is owned by The Safari Collection.
Giraffe Manor is situated on 12 acres of private land, surrounded by a sprawling 140 acres of indigenous forest. As soon as you step onto the grounds, you are immediately immersed in the beauty and tranquility of the natural surroundings. The lush greenery and tall trees create a serene atmosphere, making it the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.
One of the highlights of Giraffe Manor is, of course, the resident herd of Rothschild giraffes. These majestic creatures freely roam the grounds, often coming right up to the manor to interact with guests. It truly is a sight to behold, having such magnificent animals so close by.
The manor itself is a charming and elegant building, exuding a timeless charm. With its classic architecture and tasteful decor, it feels like stepping back in time to a bygone era. The rooms are beautifully appointed, offering a comfortable and luxurious stay for guests.
During my stay at Giraffe Manor, I had the chance to interact with the giraffes up close and personal. It was an incredible experience to feed these gentle giants from the breakfast table, as they would casually pop their heads through the windows looking for treats. It’s not every day that you get to have breakfast with giraffes!
Aside from the giraffes, there are also other wildlife species that call Giraffe Manor home. From various bird species to small mammals, the biodiversity of the area is truly remarkable. Exploring the surrounding forest is a must-do, as it offers a chance to spot some of these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat.
