Imagine enjoying breakfast at your hotel and having a giraffe poke its long neck through a window, looking for a snack. Well, that’s exactly the kind of experience you can get at the Giraffe Manor, Kenya’s one and only hotel of this kind.

Giraffe Manor was established in 1932 and served as a giraffe sanctuary before being transformed into a hotel during the ‘80s. It serves as a home to endangered Rothschild’s giraffes, who interact with visitors on a daily basis – especially during breakfast hours!

Since it’s common to have these gentle giants stretching their long necks through large windows of Giraffe Manor, each room comes stocked with giraffe food so you can treat them to a morning snack. This property comes with a total of 12 rooms set across 12 acres of private land in close proximity to Nairobi.

Thanks to its unique appeal, Giraffe Manor attracted many celebrity guests over the years, but booking one of the rooms will set you back by hundreds of bucks. Those fortunate enough to stay here swear it’s worth every penny because it will get you in touch with nature like no other hotel in the world.
