The exclu­sive bou­tique hotel Giraffe Manor is locat­ed in one of Nairobi’s most icon­ic build­ings, and its time­less ele­gance recalls the 1930s when Euro­pean vis­i­tors first flocked to East Africa to enjoy safaris. With its state­ly façade, ele­gant inte­ri­or, ver­dant green gar­dens, and delight­ful court­yards, guests often remark that it’s like walk­ing into the film Out of Africa. How­ev­er, the most fas­ci­nat­ing thing about this unusu­al hotel is its herd of res­i­dent Roth­schild giraffes who vis­it morn­ing and evening, pok­ing their long necks into the win­dows in the hope of a treat, before retreat­ing to their for­est sanc­tu­ary.
