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 will end up sharing with the giraffes!); lovely lunch (with the giraffes), and formal dinner. Lovely room! Warthogs (and the owner's dogs) running all over the lawn. Plenty of time to feed those insatiable giraffes--they never get fully, apparently.

Nairobi is hectic and could be dangerous. The Manor allows you to experience the best of the surroundings near Nairobi with none of the danger or headaches of the actual city.

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 one night stay here.

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 of hosts and encouraged everyone to get the most out of their stay. Of course the obvious stars were the giraffe, who were avaricious eaters and popped their heads through the front door both in the evening and the following morning for a little snack. The rooms were magnificent and evening meal was served in the dining room around a single large table with candelabra and excellent wine - a real ancestral feel.

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 stay, all the staff were fantastic and the manager/hosts couldn't do enough to help us organise our stay in Nairobi. They organised the activities we wanted to do and then drove us to the various places.
The food was out of this world and the family style dining in the evening was like something out of a film, the atmosphere was warm and friendly.
We can't recommend this hotel enough, the hotel alone is wonderful but when you add in the giraffes it is an experience not to be missed.
