Experience Giraffe Manor: Luxury Hotel in Kenya
Nairobi, Kenya
Giraffe Manor isn’t just one of Kenya’s finest hotels—it’s one of the continent’s most extraordinary experiences. Situated on 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest on the outskirts of Nairobi, this exclusive boutique hotel is the perfect place to begin or conclude your Kenyan safari adventure.
Stepping into the historic 1930s manor house feels like traveling back to the golden era of safaris, where romance and adventure filled the air. The original manor features six beautifully remodeled and luxuriously appointed rooms, while the Garden Manor, built in 2011, offers an additional six rooms. Designed to reflect the charm of the main house, the Garden Manor was constructed using reclaimed materials from the 1930s, ensuring an authentic aesthetic. Each room boasts stunning views and ensuite bathrooms, blending old-world elegance with modern comforts.
But the true magic of Giraffe Manor? The resident herd of endangered Rothschild’s giraffes that frequently visit during the mornings and evenings, creating an unparalleled wildlife encounter right on your doorstep.

Why We Love Giraffe Manor:
At Ubuntu Travel, we’ve had the privilege of experiencing close-up encounters with Giraffe Manor’s semi-habituated Rothschild’s giraffes, creating truly unforgettable memories. There’s nothing quite like starting your morning with breakfast in the sunroom, where these gentle giants poke their heads through the windows in search of a treat.
Another Guest Favorite? Afternoon high tea on the terrace, where giraffes and warthogs alike roam freely, making for a one-of-a-kind wildlife experience. Whether it’s the stunning surroundings, the warm hospitality, or the sheer joy of feeding a giraffe from your own hand, every moment at Giraffe Manor is pure magic.
Insider’s Tip: If the Main Manor is fully booked for your travel dates, don’t worry! We can explore adding another Safari Collection property to your itinerary, granting you access to the Garden Manor. This exclusive area is reserved for guests extending their stay at Safari Collection lodges, meaning a few extra days on safari could be your golden ticket to experiencing Giraffe Manor!
