Giraffe Manor, Nairobi

GIRAFFE MANOR, NAIROBI

GIRAFFE MANOR, NAIROBI

STYLE OF A SCOTTISH HUNTING LODGE

Famed for the resident giraffe that casually roam the grounds, the stately Giraffe Manor resides in a leafy suburb on the outskirts of Nairobi.

Aptly named, this is one of Kenya’s more unique boutique hotels. From your bedroom window, you might find yourself face-to-face with a wild Rothschild giraffe; they have freedom to roam throughout the gorgeous gardens and manicured lawns of this grand 1930s manor house. They spend their time cropping ivy from its gabled walls, and are known to pop their heads through the breakfast room windows in search of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary next door.

When not feeding the giraffes, you can foray into the city or simply relax across the hotel’s sunny terraces and tranquil courtyards. Spread across the original manor house and a newer building, rooms are inspired by the style of a Scottish hunting lodge, with romantic four poster beds and antique furnishings throughout.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”
Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. The Ultimate Travel Company were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
