If you ever find yourself in Kenya, one of the most magical experiences is a stay at Giraffe Manor, a lovely, historic boutique hotel in Nairobi. It is part of The Safari Collection and offers warm hospitality, delicious food, comfortable lodging, and the added enjoyment of on-site Rothschild’s giraffes that visit in the morning and evening.
What makes this place special is the welcoming staff willing to make your stay memorable as well as the proximity to many activities in the area such as a short stroll to the Giraffe Centre or a drive to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. The giraffes visit at breakfast.
They also visit in the afternoon as a traditional English tea complete with delectable baked goods is being served on the patio overlooking the Giraffe Sanctuary. The giraffes get some treats, too… and give kisses.
The property owners, who are committed to educating guests about wildlife conservation and their efforts across all of their properties, are, in a word, extraordinary. If you have a bucket list, add this to it; I promise your heart will runneth over with admiration and respect for all the good that is being done in this special place.
