No matter how many safaris you've been on, nothing is more magical or unforgettable than having breakfast with adorable giraffes! At Giraffe Manor, this enchanting experience is easily arranged for you!!
This stunning stone manor, originally built as a private residence in the 1930s, houses 12 rooms and is home to six friendly Rothschild giraffes (the rarest in the world)! These gentle giants poke their long necks through the large windows while guests enjoy breakfast and join them in the garden during tea time. It’s a unique experience the hotel takes great pride in!
Located in the suburb of Langata, about 10 km southwest of Nairobi in central Kenya, Giraffe Manor is elegant, intimate, and above all, exclusive. Each room is individually decorated and has a different layout, reflecting the manor's history as a private estate. With its elegant interiors, lush gardens, sun-drenched terraces, and delightful courtyards, guests often remark that it feels like a scene from the movie "Out of Africa." No wonder, as one of the 12 rooms is named after Karen Blixen, the author of the story!
In the Manor’s bedrooms, guests will find special giraffe food for feeding the animals through the windows, which also offer stunning views of the Ngong Hills.
Guests can also indulge in spa treatments, a hot tub, sauna, steam room, and gym.
Children of all ages are welcome.
The hotel has received numerous awards: 4 stars in the Forbes Travel Guide for 2024, Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice for seven consecutive years, and many more. Every year, hundreds of guests and celebrities, including Mick Jagger, Brooke Shields, Ewan McGregor, and Richard Chamberlain, visit Giraffe Manor. Due to its popularity, stays typically need to be booked 6 months to 1 year in advance. However, sometimes rooms become available at the last minute, so feel free to send us your requests, and we might be able to secure a room for you!
