Giraffe Manor
*Friendly Giraffe - spend some time with these beautiful creatures.
*Untouched Wilderness - enjoy guided walks through the surrounding primeval forest.
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. Location
The Giraffe Manor is situated 12km west of central Nairobi, in the exclusive district of Karen.
