Giraffe Manor

Giraffe Manor Hotel is the most unique hotel in Kenya. Located in the city of Nairobi on an area of 12 acres. The hotel is closely adjacent to a forest where rare Rothschild giraffes roam freely. These animals feel quite comfortable thanks to the nature conservation program that operates in this area.

The building was built in 1932 by a certain Sir David Duncan. A couple of decades later, the estate was acquired by Jock Leslie-Melville. He and his wife created a fund for the protection of rare animals. The couple placed two endangered giraffe cubs on the territory, which later produced several dozen descendants of this breed. Thus, the endangered giraffe species has been preserved. The name "Rothschild" comes from the surname of the English zoologist Rothschild, who first described them. Representatives of this species of giraffes are the tallest of their fellows, and indeed of all mammals.

Today, the main highlight of this hotel is the provision of a breakfast company with cute long-necked animals.

Traditionally, at 9 a.m., their long necks are thrust through the windows of the Giraffe Manor Hotel in order to get a treat for breakfast. This feature attracts visitors, because you can feed and admire these animals without getting up from the table. Giraffes are kindly photographed with the guests of the establishment in gratitude.

These tall residents of the surrounding area will follow you around, and wake you up in the morning by looking in the windows – this is how they try to get delicious food.

So, without leaving the building, you can plunge into the world of animals and safari, and peace-loving animals will always be happy to "chat" with tourists.

The park is home to about two hundred species of rare birds, antelopes, leopards, hyenas, and their original habitat has been preserved. The animals can be observed throughout the day.

The Giraffe Manor Mansion is an example of typical English architecture and offers luxury apartments to its guests. There are six cozy rooms in the middle, each decorated in a classic style in a setting from the last century. The most basic feature in the interior of each room are the large windows from which you can view the beauty of the surrounding area.

There are always many people who want to spend time at the exotic Giraffe Manor Hotel, so you need to book a place in advance.

Many people, having visited here once, come again, becoming friends with the owners of this unusual hotel complex.
