Situated within 140 acres of indigenous forest and playing host to a resident herd of Rothschild's giraffe, The Giraffe Manor offers an experience incomparable to any other. The building dates back to the 1930s and is modelled on a Scottish hunting lodge, creating a charming, yet luxurious place where animal lovers will enjoy every moment of interacting with giraffe and exploring the forest.
You find the friendly giraffes in the most unsuspecting places, like the breakfast table or your room window, vying for your attention and checking out what's on your plate. Relax on the verandah where you can hand-feed these friendly long-necked beauties. Activities include forest walks to see the variety of bird species and rare animals found here, and visits to the AFEW Giraffe Centre and the Karen Blixen Museum.
Highlights
Activities
Wow - how amazing to be able to feed and come so close to these tall and unique animals! Apart from being able to feed giraffes, the Manor is really beautiful. Rooms are all unique and individually done and if you stay in a front-facing room you might just be able to feed a giraffe from your room!
Rooms
Karen Blixen Suite
Located in the Main Manor, the spacious Karen Blixen Suite comprise two bedrooms, a lounge area, and two separate and en suite bathrooms. A large balcony gives you access to feeding the giraffes.
Finch Hattons Suite
The Finch Hatton Suite is located in the Garden Manor and features a king-size bed, in-room fireplace, and an en suite bathroom equipped with a large shower, bathtub and double vanities.
Facilities
The elegant sitting room is a wonderful place to relax at tea time, as it has large windows to let the afternoon light in and you can enjoy beautiful views of the giraffes and the surrounding sanctuary.
The large verandah and terraces are the best place from which to hand feed the friendly giraffes and you can also admire the Ngong Hills from this tranquil position.
Dining
Breakfast is served in the sunroom, where the enormous windows are flung open to welcome the giraffes as they poke in their long necks to see what's on your plate.
Dinner, on the other hand, is a more elegant affair and you start your evening with drinks in the drawing room in front of a crackling fire. From here you can choose to enjoy your meal either by candlelight in the dramatic wood-panelled dining room or at your table under the stars with the glow of lanterns on the terrace.
Tuck into delicious home-cooked meals that feature many traditional flavours and cuisine but with tasty, contemporary flair.
