Giraffe Manor Hotel

Hotels Own Introduction

Giraffe Manor: A Timeless Retreat with Wildlife Encounters

Nestled in the leafy Langata suburb of Nairobi, Giraffe Manor is an exclusive boutique hotel renowned for its resident herd of wild giraffes. Owned by The Safari Collection, this enchanting retreat combines unforgettable wildlife encounters with refined hospitality and a steadfast commitment to giraffe conservation.

Set on 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest, Giraffe Manor is one of Nairobi’s most iconic landmarks. Its stately 1930s façade, elegant interiors, lush green gardens, sunlit terraces, and charming courtyards evoke the golden age of safari travel. Guests often liken their stay to stepping into the film Out of Africa, a sentiment echoed by the naming of one of the manor’s 12 rooms after the author Karen Blixen.

A Unique Wildlife Experience
The true highlight of Giraffe Manor is its resident herd of endangered Nubian/Rothschild’s giraffes. These gentle giants often grace guests with their presence during breakfast and evening hours, poking their long necks through the windows in search of treats. Their visits provide a rare and magical opportunity to connect with these majestic creatures up close. Giraffe Manor is also deeply involved in a breeding program that has significantly increased the population of this once highly endangered species in the wild.

Luxury Beyond the Manor
Guests can extend their experience by visiting the adjacent wellness center and Daisy’s Café. Indulge in soothing spa treatments, unwind in the hot tub, sauna, or steam room, or enjoy a workout in the gym. Alternatively, relax in the serene gardens overlooking the giraffe sanctuary while savoring light refreshments.

Whether booking a stay for the night or as part of a bespoke Kenyan safari curated by The Safari Collection, Giraffe Manor offers a harmonious blend of timeless elegance, conservation, and unparalleled wildlife interactions—a true bucket-list destination.
