The Giraffe Manor, built in 1932 by Sir David Duncan, is situated on 120 acres of land just a few miles from the centre of Nairobi, Kenya's capital city.

In 1974, Jock Leslie-Melville, grandson of a Scottish earl, and his wife Betty, who founded the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW), bought the Manor. They moved 5 endangered baby Rothschild giraffe to their property where they were successfully reared and now have their own babies.

When Jock died, Betty decided to open her house to visitors. Exclusive, spacious and elegant, it is the only place in the world that you can feed giraffe from your 2nd floor bedroom window, over the lunch table, and at the front door. You can feed and photograph the giraffe and the warthogs at the manor and wander through the adjoining forest.

Personally hosted, The Giraffe Manor has welcoming accommodation, highly trained staff and one of Nairobi's finest kitchens.

Enjoy guided walks through the surrounding forests and learn about traditional uses of the varied flora, view some of the 180 bird species and perhaps meet a warthog or bushbuck.

The Giraffe Manor is situated 12km west of central Nairobi, in the exclusive district of Karen, Kenya.

Meals at Giraffe Manor are prepared by a gourmet chef and include tea, wine and cocktails. Start your evening with pre-dinner drinks, gathered around the drawing room fire. Dinner is a social affair and usually takes place at one long table, giving you a chance to get to know the other guests.

The breakfast room is light and airy with large windows.

There are 5 double/twin bedrooms at The Giraffe Manor. The Master Room interconnects with the Giraffe Room, converting to a family suite, and the rear of the house has a large extension ideal for older children.

All bedrooms have striking Art Deco bathrooms, and are tastefully decorated with large 4-poster beds and antique furnishings.

Giraffe Manor has recently opened the The Garden Manor, designed in the same style as the original house and offering 3 bedrooms and a suite. The Garden Manor features a separate dining room and sitting room with a fireplace where guests can enjoy delicious local cuisine.
