When you first arrive in Africa, or as a marvellous last night
farewell, this is perhaps the most delightful, unique and heart-warming
place you will ever stay.
Giraffe Manor is a 1930's stone building with soaring two-storey entrance
hall and sweeping staircase, it is located on forested land just 16 kms from
Nairobi. It is a beautiful home but what makes it completely unique are the
rare Rothschild giraffe that live in the garden and come calling on the
house, peering in upstairs and downstairs windows and doorways.
A limited number of guests can stay at the House, which is quite grand but
not at all imposing. There is a stylish sort of lived-in feel about the
place and the five bedrooms are each furnished differently. Pre-dinner
drinks gathered around the drawing room fire will give you a chance to ask
your hosts, Bryony and Rick Anderson, all about this unusual place.
During the day you need only shake a bucket of horse pellets and perhaps
Lynn or Jock or one of the other members of the giraffe family will come
share morning or afternoon tea with you.
