The giraffes wander around at the Manor as they please. They casually visit it in the mornings and late afternoons to greet the guests. Although still wild animals, the giraffes at the Manor have become accustomed to seeing residents and guests. Hence, they are semi-habituated. Animal lovers will enjoy interacting with the friendly giraffes. Giraffes come to the breakfast table checking out what’s on the plates or vie for attention at the room windows. In the hope of a treat, they stick their long necks into the windows. Visitors find it amusing to hand-feed them who come to the veranda.

Set on the southern outskirts of Nairobi, it has 117 square kilometers of pristine savanna, grasslands, forests, wetlands and rocky valleys. The park offers the country’s most accessible and incongruous safari experience. This green city in the sun is a real contrast to the buzz of the city. Nairobi National Park is a short drive out of the Central Business District. Also, Nairobi travel companies offer half-day safaris.
