Giraffe Manor Kenya
Giraffe Manor Kenya is a luxurious boutique hotel unlike any other. What sets it apart is not just its elegant architecture or impeccable service, but the gentle giants that roam its grounds freely, making it an unforgettable destination for wildlife enthusiasts and travelers seeking a unique experience. It’s a sanctuary where guests can connect with nature, indulge in luxury, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
One of the most fascinating things about Giraffe Manor is its resident herd of Rothschild’s giraffes who may visit morning and evening, poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary. The Rothschild’s species of giraffe was once highly endangered, but Giraffe Manor has long been part of a breeding programme which has successfully grown their numbers in the wild. Giraffe Manor can be booked for the night or as part of a complete tailor-made Kenya safari with The Safari Collection.
Accommodation
Giraffe Manor also sets the standard for luxury accommodation and personalized service. Guests are welcomed into elegantly appointed suites adorned with antique furnishings, plush linens, and modern amenities, ensuring a comfortable and indulgent stay. Imagine waking up to the sight of a giraffe gracefully stretching its neck to peer into your window or enjoying breakfast while feeding these majestic creatures by hand. It’s a surreal experience that captures the essence of Africa’s wild beauty and creates lasting memories for guests.
Dinning
Dining at Giraffe Manor is an equally exquisite affair. From gourmet meals prepared with locally sourced ingredients to fine wines served with impeccable attention to detail, every culinary experience is a celebration of Kenya’s rich flavors and hospitality.
