Giraffe Manor
Surrounded by 12 acres of private land, in 140 acres of native forest, the iconic Giraffe Manor is famous for its herds of Rothschild giraffes that often inhabit the spectacular grounds. Stay in the original manor house offering six rooms: Betty, Daisy, Jock, Lynn, Marlon and Karen Blixen Suite or Garden Manor also offers six rooms: Salma, Edd, Arlene, Helen, Kelly and Finch Hatton Suite. Each room has a view of the reserve, and the giraffe experience for guests is the same no matter what part of the house they’re in. Your family can look forward to elegant, well-appointed rooms that include romantic four-poster beds and en suite bathrooms with full bathroom amenities.
At Giraffe Manor, breakfast is fun. Not only is there an enticing menu, you might also be interrupted by one of the friendly giraffes poking their head through the window in search of a treat – it’s fun for the whole family. Have a light lunch and start the evening with refreshing cocktails served around the fire, followed by gourmet dinners in the inviting dining room.
Those in need of pampering can soothe tired limbs with a massage, while those with an energetic disposition can enjoy invigorating workouts at the gym. Great family activities at Giraffe Manor include excursions to the nearby Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, the Karen Blixen Museum, or a relaxing forest walk on the grounds.
