Giraffe Manor is a scene from The Jungle Book brought to life. Just imagine enjoying a quiet breakfast in a stately English manor, ivy creeping up the sides of the historic home and the sun streaming through oversized picture windows. Suddenly, a face appears in the window, followed by another and another. But these aren’t stray dogs begging for a bite of your breakfast. They’re Rothschild’s giraffes and this is just another morning at Nairobi’s Giraffe Manor.

One of the internet’s most beloved hotels, Giraffe Manor is more than just a memorable photo op. The 1930s-era former hunting lodge has transformed into a boutique hotel/giraffe breeding sanctuary to create a stay unlike any other. Nestled on 12 private acres packed with native flora and fauna, this Nairobi retreat artfully combines luxury, history and conservation to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience that goes beyond Rudyard Kipling’s wildest dreams.
