Nestled in the leafy suburbs of Nairobi, Kenya, this one-of-a-kind hotel lets you meet endangered Rothschild’s giraffes up close. Whether you’re sipping coffee or snapping photos, these gentle giants might just poke their long necks through the windows to say hello. Let’s explore why Giraffe Manor is the coolest hotel in Nairobi!


Why Giraffe Manor is Nairobi’s Most Unique Hotel

Imagine waking up in a cozy, historic manor house… only to spot a giraffe strolling past your window! Giraffe Manor isn’t just a hotel—it’s a wildlife adventure. Here’s what makes it special:

  • Breakfast with Giraffes: Start your day with fresh pancakes while giraffes wander over for a treat. Don’t worry—they’re friendly!
  • Conservation Heroes: The manor helps protect Rothschild’s giraffes, which are rare and endangered. Your stay supports their survival!
  • Old-World Charm: The hotel feels like a grand Kenyan home from the 1930s, with fireplaces, gardens, and vintage photos.

Rooms Fit for a Safari Adventure

The manor has 12 charming rooms, each with quirky names like “Daisy” or “Eddie.” Big windows, four-poster beds, and giraffe-themed decor make it feel like a storybook! Some rooms even have balconies where giraffes might visit for a snack.


Top Things to Do at Giraffe Manor Hotel, Nairobi

  1. Feed the Giraffes: Hold out a pellet, and watch their long, purple tongues gently grab it!
  2. Explore the Gardens: Walk through quiet gardens where giraffes, warthogs, and birds hang out.
  3. Visit the Giraffe Centre: Just next door, this conservation center lets you learn about giraffes and plant trees.
  4. Day Trips: Ask the hotel to plan a safari at Nairobi National Park or a tour of the Karen Blixen Museum.

How Giraffe Manor Helps Save Wildlife

Giraffe Manor isn’t just fun—it’s important! The manor works with the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife to protect giraffes. By staying here, you’re helping:

  • Rescue giraffes from unsafe areas.
  • Teach kids about wildlife.
  • Plant trees to keep habitats healthy.

Pricing Details

Giraffe Manor promises a once-in-a-lifetime luxury stay, but it comes at a premium. Rates start around $1,168 per adult and $805 per child (ages 4–11; kids 12+ pay adult rates). These prices cover full-board stays—think breakfast with giraffes, afternoon tea, and gourmet dinners—but exclude extras like spa treatments or private photo sessions.

With only 12 rooms, reservations often book out 12–18 months in advance, especially for peak seasons like June–October. For exact dates and rates, always check the official rate sheet (prices shift yearly). Pro tip: Pair your stay with a safari package—some tour operators bundle it with Maasai Mara trips at a discount.

    Your Stay at Nairobi’s Giraffe Hotel

    • Best Time to Visit: Sunny days from July to September let you enjoy breakfast outdoors with giraffes!
    • Getting There: The hotel is 20 km from Nairobi’s airport. They’ll arrange a taxi for you.
    • Pack Light: You’ll get muddy boots for feeding giraffes!

    Guest Reviews & Experiences

    Guests rave about the “surreal” chance to bond with Rothschild giraffes—imagine sipping coffee as a giraffe pokes its head through your window! Many call it a “bucket-list splurge,” praising the staff’s warmth and the manor’s old-world elegance. Others note the “small but cozy” rooms, reminding readers this stay is about wildlife, not sprawling suites.

    While most agree it’s “worth every penny,” a few warn it’s “not for tight budgets”—especially if adding extras like champagne dinners. Families love the kid-friendly vibe but advise keeping an eye on little ones (giraffes are gentle but very curious!). Nearly everyone highlights how their stay supports the hotel’s endangered giraffe conservation work, adding a feel-good factor to the luxury.
