Unrivalled luxury with Giraffe Manor Hotel Nairobi

Stay in The Giraffe Manor Nairobi Kenya and enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience – feeding the endangered Rothschild giraffe from your window on your safari! Voyage2Africa knows plenty of Nairobi hotels for holiday satisfaction but Giraffe Manor Boutique Hotel retains a certain charm and eccentricity that makes guests forget that they are staying in the enormous metropolis of Nairobi.

Booked on a full-board basis, visitors to Nairobi, Kenya, only pay for champagne and specially imported wines and spirits at Giraffe Manor Hotel Kenya. Hop on board one of the sightseeing vehicles and explore the many attractions nearby if you like a bit of wining and dining, culture and history thrown in too before you head off on safari tour to one of the many game reserves and national parks in Kenya.

Find Giraffe Manor Nairobi in the shady suburb of Langata, lined with huge old trees on a verdant expanse of 12 acres, once a colonial hunting lodge in the 1930s. Feel as if you are in the movie, Out of Africa, when you stay here in a luxury suite and hear how the founders of this upmarket Nairobi hotel started the Endangered Wildlife Africa Fund, bringing two endangered Rothschild Giraffes to their home and naming them Daisy and Marlon!

Giraffe Manor Overview

Choose to stay in the delightful and slightly eccentric Giraffe Manor situated south-west of Nairobi within 140 acres of gardens and – home to a resident herd of endangered Rothschild giraffe. 

The Giraffe Manor Boutique Hotel offers an experience unsurpassed by any other hotel in Nairobi Kenya. Initially built as a residence in 1932 by Sir David Duncan, the property was then bought in 1974 by the US conservationist Betty Leslie-Melville and her husband Jock who have made it into what it is today. 

Make yourself at home in one of 10 beautifully appointed rooms encompassed in two buildings. Choose one of 8 larger Superior suites with gorgeous views of the property or two Standard rooms.  The original manor house has 4 bedrooms while the Garden Manor houses the other 6 rooms, all individually designed with their own personality and style. Find a bag of giraffe pellets in your room for those times when these friendly animals peep through your window. Superior rooms offer bathtubs while 4 of the rooms feature fireplaces. 

The main shared areas of Giraffe Manor Hotel Nairobi Kenya are housed in the original manor house complete with a chic yet inviting living room, comfortably furnished with comfy armchairs and couches as well as artworks and occasional tables.

Giraffe Manor also has a curio shop and treatment room for massages while the Garden Manor features its own hallway and staircase, elegant lounge and formal dining room. Check out our package deals to Nairobi and beyond, on tours and safaris to see wildlife and extensive magical landscapes of the Africa we all read about!

This place is special, and a great way to start or end a safari trip from Nairobi. Remember to bring cash so you can leave staff tips, and remember to chat to the owner, Tanya who is so accommodating and kind. You only really need one night here but we stayed another night as the giraffes are so amazing and we wanted more pics. The rooms are ultra cool so we will be back so thanks!
