Accommodation Day 1

Giraffe Manor

Hotel Class: Ultra-Luxury Garden Manor

One of the most unforgettable bucket-list breakfast in the world.
A visit from an endangered Rothschild's giraffe or two is always possible at Giraffe Manor, and they're known for sticking their long necks in through the windows here. It's a fantastic Nairobi base, and one of the most unique places to stay in the world, Giraffe Manor blends extraordinary wildlife encounters with exquisite hospitality and a long-term commitment to giraffe conservation. The historic manor house is set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi and is one of Nairobi’s most iconic buildings. It 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. The Rothschild’s species of giraffe was once highly endangered, but Giraffe Manor has long been part of a breeding programme which has successfully grown their numbers in the wild.

Day 2

Nairobi

Spend more time getting to know the memorable city of Nairobi and best known for their work to protect elephants, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) who operate the most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world. But they do much more than this and escaping to The Giraffe Centre, a creation of the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (A.F.E.W. Kenya), a Kenyan non-profit organisation. Our main purpose is to educate Kenyan school children and youth on their country’s wildlife and environment, as well as give local and international visitors an opportunity to come into close contact with the world’s tallest species, the giraffe.
