Giraffe Manor is one of the most popular accommodation choices in the whole of Eastern Africa. Full of character and steeped in history, its ivy-clad buildings are set in 12 acres of private land and are surrounded by 140 acres of indigenous forest. Reminiscent of its 1930s "Out of Africa" heydays, it is named for its resident herd of Rothschild giraffe that often pop in for a visit.
Giraffe Manor is an exclusive boutique hotel located in the Langata suburb of Nairobi, Kenya. It is the accommodation of choice for travelers before or after a Masai Mara or Serengeti safari.
As one of Nairobi’s most iconic buildings, Giraffe Manor has extraordinary appeal. It is set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest, harking back to the 1930s when European visitors flocked to East Africa to enjoy safaris. With its stately façade, elegant interior, verdant gardens, sunny terraces, and charming courtyards, Giraffe Manor offers a unique experience. A particularly fascinating element of your stay will involve its resident herd of Rothschild giraffe, who may visit in the morning and evening, sometimes poking their long necks through windows in search of a treat, before retreating back to their forest sanctuary.
The hotel’s 12 rooms each boast their own distinct personality, elegant furnishings, and Art Deco features.
A short stroll across the property’s lawns brings you to the AFEW Giraffe Centre, where you can learn about these beautiful and endangered creatures and enjoy a guided walk around the sanctuary. The Manor can also arrange a variety of optional local excursions for guests.

Hope the Safari itself is as good as the help provided by Kim!
We only just booked our safari which will take place next year, so I can only give my opinion on Kim Abrahams who was the lovely lady who guided us and managed our booking. Kim was wonderful, once we asked for our quote she replied and was present 100% to all our queries, replying super quickly, providing options and making the reservation a very pleasurable experience.

Seamless, Stress-Free Safari Planning – An Unforgettable Experience
From the moment I sent an enquiry, Kim Abraham made the entire process seamless and effortless. Her replies were fast, thorough and incredibly helpful. She provided excellent recommendations and even secured a hold on the hotel we were interested in before we booked it, as there was only one room left (I did check directly with the hotel and was told they were fully booked!). Kim arranged every detail of our safari - flights, accommodation, park fees, everything - and the entire trip ran flawlessly. Entim Mara (the camp she recommended) was absolutely incredible, easily one of the highlights of our trip and provided the most magical experience. We would wholeheartedly recommend Kim and would book another trip with her in a heartbeat!
