Giraffe Manor
Nairobi, Kenya
About This Property
The Experience
Giraffe Manor is a small hotel in a 1932 manor house in Nairobi's Lang'ata suburb, built in the style of a Scottish hunting lodge. Jock and Betty Leslie-Melville bought it in 1974 and began breeding the endangered Rothschild's giraffe here, founding the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife. The resident herd roams the grounds and is famous for reaching through the windows at breakfast and afternoon tea. Rooms are split between the original manor and a separate garden manor. The Safari Collection has owned it since 2009, and it closes each year from mid-April to mid-May.
