I though we should all go on a little trip tonight and sleep in different beds. I've decided to take all of you to The Giraffe Manor, surrounded by 140 acres of indigenous forest just outside Kenya's capital, Nairobi. As well as the giraffe, the property is also home to many species of birds, large families of warthogs and the elusive Bush Buck.
Travellers from all over the world now make The Giraffe Manor part of their East African safari, the only place in the world where you can enjoy the breathtaking experience of feeding and photographing the giraffe over the breakfast table and at the front door.
The Giraffe Manor is an elegant, personally hosted, small and exclusive hotel, famous for its resident herd of giraffe. The Giraffe Manor offers a rich blend of welcoming accommodation, highly trained and friendly staff, as well as one of Nairobi's finest kitchens.
All photos from the website of The Giraffe Manor. The 1932 mansion was designed to resemble a Scottish hunting lodge. In 1974, two highly endangered Rothschild giraffe were moved onto the estate where their future generations have thrived and live today. Wasn't that a fun place to visit? I enjoyed it too, Rosemary.

I absolutely love this!! Giraffe's are one of my favorite animals. When I'm visiting Chiang Mai I go to the zoo just to hang out with the giraffe's.
