Giraffe Manor
Giraffe Manor is situated on 120 acres of forested land in the Karen district, just 8 miles from Nairobi’s city centre. In 1974, Jock Leslie-Melville bought the house which was built in 1932, and with his wife Betty eventually made it home to the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife.
Accommodation & Facilities
The Manor has five double bedrooms and a family suite available to guests. Each of the bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom, and is individually furnished and decorated. One bedroom is furnished with Karen Blixen's 'Out of Africa' furniture that she gave to Jock's mother in 1932. The upstairs hall contains the original bookcase Dennis Finch-Hatton made for her.
Wildlife & Activities
It is the only place in the world where you can feed giraffe from your second floor bedroom window, over the lunch table in the sun room, and even at the front door as these gentle giants try to squeeze into the foyer. Guests can feed and photograph the giraffe and the warthogs at the Manor, and also wander through the adjoining primeval forest to view the bushbuck, dik dik, and more than 180 species of birds.
