The Giraffe Manor Safari Reserve Hotel Reviews Nairobi Kenya Holiday Tour Accommodation Wild Life Estate




HOTELS REVIEW – THE GIRAFFE MANOR

The Giraffe Manor, built in 1932, is surrounded by 140 acres of its own park and forest thirty minutes from the centre of Nairobi, with views of the Ngong Hills. In 1974 Jock Leslie-Melville, grandson of a Scots earl, and his American wife Betty, who also founded the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW), bought the Manor. They moved two highly endangered baby Rothschild giraffe to the estate, where they thrived and have produced further generations. Activities include feeding and photographing of the giraffe, guided walks through forest to view the varied flora and bird species. There are five double/twin bedrooms at The Giraffe Manor. Family rooms can be arranged via use of interconnecting doors.
