Day 9 – Nairobi – Giraffe Manor

Day 9 – Nairobi – Giraffe Manor

Giraffe Manor is an exclusive boutique hotel, owned by The Safari Collection. Often referred to as one of the most instagrammed properties in the world, Giraffe Manor is set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi. Giraffe Manor is one of Nairobi’s most iconic buildings. The historic manor house has extraordinary appeal, that harks back to the 1930s when visitors first flocked to East Africa to enjoy safaris. With its stately façade, elegant interior, verdant green gardens, sunny terraces and delightful courtyards, guests often remark that it’s like walking into the film Out of Africa: indeed, one of its twelve rooms is named after the author Karen Blixen.

One of the most fascinating things about Giraffe Manor is its resident herd of Rothschild’s giraffes who may visit morning and evening, poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary. Giraffe Manor can be booked for the night or as part of a complete tailor-made safari with The Safari Collection.

Located on the same sanctuary as Giraffe Manor, The Retreat provides an exquisite wellness experience for the Manor House guests. Located just 80 metres to the left of the main manor house, The Retreat shares the same tranquil outlook over the forested giraffe sanctuary. The Retreat provides an exquisite wellness experience for the Manor House guests where giraffe manor guests are welcome to use The Retreat facilities (infinity pool, gym, steam room, sauna, hot tub) during their stay at Giraffe Mano. Guests can also visit The Retreat’s Restaurant (Daisy’s) and book a spa treatment at The Retreat (all treatments and food and drink are NOT included). Use of The Retreat facilities, restaurant and spa are only accessible to Giraffe Manor guests within the checkin and check-out hours.

Due to very limited availability at Giraffe Manor some members of our group will stay at Giraffe Manor on this night 1 and will stay the the Boma Nairobi on the next night. Everyone will stay one night at Giraffe Manor
