Known for its resident herd of Nubian/Rothschild’s giraffes, who visit morning and evening, delight guests by poking their long necks through the windows for treats before retreating to their forest sanctuary. With its elegant architecture, lush gardens, and unparalleled wildlife encounters, Giraffe Manor provides an extraordinary experience that captures the essence of East Africa.
