If you are looking for a unique experience like feeding giraffes during your breakfast, this is the place. Do not expect the comfort of a 5 star resort, as this is a 1930´s 5 bedroom english house. You feel in an english B&B in the middle of Africa. But it is a great experience. I would reccommend it for 1... more

We spent two nights at Giraffe Manor and had a enjoyable time. The hosts, Nadine and David were very sociable and made you feel at ease. I would have to agree with other reviews about the rooms and bathrooms. Our room you could describe as shabby chic but the bathroom was in need of an update. The staff were very... more

It can't be denied that this place is unique and being a huge giraffe lover I was hugely looking forward to it. But we felt that the accomodation and the service were really not up to scratch, which is why we were so surprised to read the other wonderful reviews on this site. We go to Kenya frequently and had... more

My last night of my trip was spent at Giraffe Manor. What an experience. Rooms are wonderful and spacious, clean and you feel like part of the home. Dinner was magnificent and the company was great. You meet lots of new friends. Breakfast was spent with the giraffe's leaning through the windows and kissing you, eating from your hand. it... more

A truly unique experience, a real must do, We only spent one night and woke up with a giraffe's face at our window, we then spent breakfast with them, they genuinley poke their heads/necks through the windows and let you feed them. All i can say is that if you are in nairobi "DO IT" Lovely food and accommodation. more

Bryony and Rick are excellent hosts and do everything they can to make you feel welcome and at home. I'm not sure I'd want to have breakfast, lunch and dinner with a bunch of strangers every day but Bryony does it effortlessly, and Rick, at dinner time, proved to be equally hospitable. Giraffe Manor is a true one-off - a... more

My daughter and I stayed at the Manor May, 2007. In retrospect, we should have stayed 2 nights at the Manor, and not stayed any night (we stayed four) in Nairobi. The Manor is extremely well organized, and provides transportation to and from airports and to local tourist spots with no extra charge. The food is divine--full breakfast (which you... more

I stayed at Giraffe Manor back in 2002 but just recently stumbled on my photos and remembered what a great place it was. Enjoy the photos...but experiencing the giraffes up close and personal is definitely the better way to go. So gentle and so sweet. The staff at Giraffe Manor were out of this world. Definitely worth at least a... more

Arrived on an overnight flight so were a little jaded but our hosts suggested we should visit the Elephant orphanage and various other activities, and we were so glad we did. The manor itself was amazing, an intimate place with great attention to detail by the hosts and staff alike. We thought David and Nadine were perfect in the position... more

We were excited about staying at Giraffe manor before we got there and it still managed to exceed all our expectations. We arrived just in time to feed the giraffes on the lawns and were given the master bedroom with a fireplace and huge 4 poster bed as it was our honeymoon. We couldn't have asked for more during our... more
