We stayed here overnight between a safari and flight to Zanzibar. Needless to say it's quite an experience to have a Giraffe kiss you and be in your breakfast dish. Our hosts Maryann and Rudy couldn't have fit the bill better if the were cast by a movie production company. Having drinks in the living room hearing wonderful stories. Dinner... More

The only reason not to stay here is simply that you can't afford it. At $600 / night, it ain't cheap. But that includes a car and driver during any free days. And breakfast and/or cocktails with the epinonymous giraffes. You'll never enjoy any place else more. And dinner at the manor is a treat fit for royalty.

I booked one night at the Giraffe Manor as a special treat for my Wife, as she was celebrating a 'special' Birthday and is totally bonkers about Giraffes. This was the start of a week long Safari and a 'Chill Out' break in Zanzibar. Out of all the amazing things we did and saw on our trip the stand out... More

My husband and I stayed at giraffe manor half way through our honeymoon in Kenya and Zanzibar last autumn. I had always wanted to stay there, given that giraffes are my favourite animals, and we decided if we weren't going to splurge on our honeymoon, when would we? It certainly wasn't a cheap indulgence but I would say it was... More

Giraffe Manor is a one of a kind place and if you are an animal lover and happen to be in the Nairobi area it is not to be missed. My wife and I recently returned from our second stay at G.M. and had another magical experience. Fresh off a fantastic stay in the Masai Mara, we were met by... More

The best two days one could wish for where you really interact with the giraffes and is a real one of a kind experience in the world.While previous comments I read were neutral on the accommadation yes it is a bit tired but one should think of it as a 5 star bed and breakfast with adequate meals but fantastic...

I recently spent my last 2 nights of a 5 week african trip at Giraffe Manor. What a fantastic time we had- our hosts Marianne and Rudy were wonderful, and the staff there are expert mind readers! They always seemed to produce whatever drink or meal you felt like without having to ask! The manor has a lovely welcoming feel... More

I spent 6 months planning our own trip to Southern Africa and it was beyond my wildest dreams. Staying 3 nights at Giraffe Manor (if you can get it) would be perfect. Marianne & Rudy are the manor's hosts and are wonderful. We were only able to stay 2 nights as the 3rd night b/c available a week before our... More
