Old Colonial Charm

Safari jackets and lazily spinning ceiling fans. Terraces overlooking endless grasslands. Icy cocktails at sundown. Live the daydream of an authentic African colonial station. Half a world away from Europe, marvel at priceless Victorian antiques, Edwardian architecture and heirloom fabrics. Enjoy the attentions of superbly trained staff and linger over elegant dinners complemented by fine wines. Capture stunning digital images. Succumb to the magic of Africa.

Giraffe Manor – One of Nairobi's most iconic destinations Set within a giraffe sanctuary, this is almost certainly the only place in the world where you can eat breakfast with rare Rothschild giraffes. These beautiful creatures vie for your attention at the dining table, the front door and even your bedroom window. In the mornings and evenings, they often greet guests and sniff out some snacks before venturing back into their spacious sanctuary. Built in the 1930s, this luxury boutique hotel has maintained all the charm of the era. Giraffe Manor also offers easy access to an elephant orphanage and the Karen Blixen Museum. All transfers within the Karen and Langata areas are included in the rate. Map ref: 127
