When not feeding some of the tallest animals in the world, guests staying at Giraffe Manor can also enjoy taking a guided walk around the sanctuary to learn more about the animals that reside on the property, or take a stroll across the law to the giraffe centre.
With the David Sheldrick elephant orphanage just 30 minutes away, guests could also spend time with baby elephants and even adopt one if they wish. An evening at Giraffe Manor is best spent enjoying an afternoon tea on the terrace as the sun sets behind the Ngong Hills.
Staying overnight gives you access to The Retreat at Giraffe Manor located in the same sanctuary as Giraffe Manor. The Retreat offers Manor House guests a tranquil space in which to relax and enjoy a range of wellness facilities at any time during their stay within check-in and check-out hours. These include a pool, gym, steam room, sauna, and hot tub. A selection of pampering spa treatments is available to book at an extra cost.
