Everything was included in the price- even our laundry! We no sooner sat outside than staff were offering us drinks and freshly baked cookies and cakes. The food was wonderful and the... More

We arrived at Giraffe Manor, and were immediately greeted with hot towels, drinks, and anything else that we needed. Our laundry was immediately taken from us, we were shown the property and our room. Both the entire property and our room were amazing. It was so comfortable, and beautiful. Our room was in the original main house, and had a... More

Can you image arriving at 3:00 AM from a flight from Europe and have two giraffes stick their heads in the lobby windows? Amazing! Fabulous experience for grandchildren with beautiful rooms, wonderful food, and most attentive staff. Too bad you don't offer 6 stars! More

We began our African adventure with a day and night at the Giraffe Manor. We loved the Manor, the staff, the grounds, and the food. All of the staff we friendly and attentive and all of the giraffes were gentile and elegant. The warthogs were great comic relief. I highly recommend it. More

We recently stayed at the Giraffe Manor with our two teenage daughters. It really is a truly unique and amazing place. The grounds are beautiful with nine gorgeous giraffes in residence just waiting to come and greet you. The rooms are lovely, the main house like an English country manor house and nothing is too much trouble for any of... More

We stayed at Giraffe Manor for the first two nights of our Kenya honeymoon. I wish I could have stayed a week! Beautiful grounds, amazingly friendly staff who take care of you, delicious food, cozy fireplace with help-yourself booze for evenings, and, um, you get to feed and pet giraffes! Need I say more? We arrived late at night and... More

A stay in Nairobi would not be complete without spending a night at the Giraffe Manor. The accomodations are great, the staff is excellent, and the food is outstanding. Having breakfast while hand feeding Giraffe's is an experience that not too many people can claim, and a lot of fun!! Then you go for the Giraffe kiss, which is holding... More

Finally I get round to writing about this wonderful hotel after our second visit here - it is like no other place I have ever stayed at. If you can afford it - go there tomorrow. If you cannot afford it yet - it is worth saving up for. The main building is an old, truly beautiful manor, and there... More
