GIRAFFE MANOR
Nairobi
Giraffe Manor: Our ViewA very good option for those looking for something a little different, it is possible to visit the adjoining giraffe centre to learn a little more about these bizarre animals. The rooms are pretty basic in feel, but are a real step back into Kenyan colonial history as most of the original paintings and pictures adorn the walls. You will not find anywhere else quite like this, a truly unique experience, but it does come at a price, for that reason we give 4 paws Giraffe Manor: Fast Facts$380 per person per night (high season) Our Rating
Giraffe Manor: The DetailThis itself contains 5 rooms and has the feel of an English country house, but instead of peacocks, it is rangy giraffe that mow the lawn. If giraffes are your thing and you would like to share breakfast with one then this is the ideal spot! Originally built by the Duncan family in the 30’s, and populated with the rare Rothschild giraffe in 1974 by Jock Leslie-Melville, the manor and its inquisitive pets have thrived together. Giraffe Manor: Client ReviewsAnother enormous highlight to our trip (actually there were quite a few – the Serian entertainment being way up there on that list too) was Giraffe Manor. I know you thinks it’s a gimmick, but it was also probably one of our most favorite stops – especially for Anna and Lily (and my mom). That was an absolute highlight and a good way to end the trip. The Manor is stunning, the food was out of this world and I would call it a must stop if one is going through Kenya (especially with children.) It probably meant more to me as well because I read the book “Raising Daisy Rothschild.” It was really expensive, but totally worth it. My mom wants to go back to Kenya just to go there. We really loved it. K Hooker 2011 Click here to see all reviews and testimonials You may also likeNairobi
Each of the rooms has been beautifully constructed and looked after over the years. As with the other hotels in the area, this is a great place to relax for a couple of nights while exploring the sights around Nairobi. Great rooms, it does however lack from having no pool.

This is a good hotel to stay in for the centre of town although can get very booked up should there be a conference in town and suffers slightly from a smallish, overlooked pool. Nairobi
There are quite a few hotels that are located in the Karen district of Nairobi and this is certainly the best of them…both from a price point of view but also for the fact that it has a personal feel. Where quite a few of the hotels in and around Nairobi have a faceless rapport with their clientele, the House of Waine can easily be recommended for a couple of nights, used as a basing point to visit the nearby Giraffe Centre or Blixen Museum
