Giraffe Manor is a peaceful retreat to start or end a safari in East Africa and has become an icon of Nairobi’s historical landscape.
Located in the leafy suburbs of Langata on a 140 acre sanctuary, Giraffe Manor offers a unique opportunity to meet the eleven resident giraffe, all of whom are the endangered Rothschild species.
Close up encounters with the semi-habituated giraffe, as they put their heads through the windows at breakfast, creates an unforgettable memory for guests of all ages as the giraffe are always keen to be hand fed!
