Historic boutique hotel just outside Nairobi
Start your journey through Kenya with an original stay at the exclusive Giraffe Manor. Here you walk into 'Out of Africa' as you wander the immense estate, stroll through the beautiful courtyards and descend on one of the sunny terraces. You have the choice of staying in the stately mansion itself, 'The Manor House', or in the later built 'The Garden Manor'. The new rooms are built in the same style as in the mansion, and take you to the thirties of the last century. The biggest attraction is though, the name of the hotel says it all, the Rothschild's giraffes that roam freely here. During your breakfast or high tea, be surprised when the giraffes poke their heads through the window in the hope of picking up something from the goodies on the table.
