The famously photographed 1930s manor where a resident herd of endangered Rothschild's giraffe poke their heads through the breakfast-room windows to be fed — one of the most iconic and sought-after stays in Africa.
An exclusive ivy-clad manor on the edge of Nairobi, set in private parkland that is home to a herd of Rothschild's giraffe who wander up to the house at mealtimes. Part of The Safari Collection, its twelve rooms are split between the original 1930s Manor House and the matching Garden Manor, a six-room replica built in 2011, pairing storybook charm with polished hospitality. Demand is high and stays book out far in advance.
Flying in
The nearest airstrip is Wilson (the hub), about 30 min by road from the lodge. See the real fly-in routes and how the rest of the region connects on the Getting Around map.
