Luxury Accommodation Details

Giraffe Manor boutique hotel in Nairobi is an exclusive hotel with a resident herd of wild Giraffes. Owned by The Safari Collection, this boutique hotel in Nairobi is one of the world's most unique places to stay. Giraffe Manor blends extraordinary wildlife encounters with exquisite hospitality and a long-term commitment to giraffe conservation. The historic manor house is set on 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi and is one of Nairobi’s most iconic buildings. It has an extraordinary appeal that harks back to the 1930s when visitors first flocked to East Africa to enjoy safaris. With its stately façade, elegant interior, verdant green gardens, sunny terraces, and delightful courtyards, guests often say it’s like walking into the film Out of Africa. Indeed, one of its twelve rooms is named after the author, Karen Blixen.

One of the most fascinating things about Giraffe Manor is its resident herd of Nubian/Rothschild’s giraffes, who may visit morning and evening, poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat before retreating to their forest sanctuary. The Nubian/Rothschild giraffe species was once highly endangered, but Giraffe Manor has long been part of a breeding program that has successfully grown their numbers in the wild.

Utopian Paradise would like to emphasize that all payments made to our company are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable. Our business operates with contractual agreements with various suppliers, such as hotels, airlines, and other vendors, which do not allow us to secure refunds. This strict policy is implemented to keep our package prices affordable and enables our clients to make monthly vacation payments that suit their budgets.
It is the responsibility of passengers to ensure that they possess the necessary travel documents for their journey. To do so, passengers must consult with the relevant consulate(s) or visa agency to ascertain whether visas or passports are required for their trip. The validity of a passport for travel purposes must extend at least six months beyond the date of intended departure. In certain instances, countries may request a full blank page in a passport for stamping purposes.

Non-US citizens are advised to contact the relevant consulate of the country or countries set to be visited to obtain up-to-date entry requirements.

As such, we encourage all our passengers to exercise due diligence to mitigate any potential travel disruptions.
People often save up for months or years in advance when planning a vacation. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances can sometimes arise, potentially causing the need to cancel or interrupt a planned trip. This can lead to disappointment in missing out on a much-needed break and financial loss in the form of non-refundable deposits and fees. To address this concern, we highly recommend purchasing Travel Protection. This type of insurance can help cover various potential issues, including Trip Cancellation, Interruption, Baggage Loss or Delay, and Medical Expenses. In a covered situation, Travel Protection can help reimburse travelers for non-recoverable expenses, such as prepaid flights, hotels, rental cars, and activities. Travel Protection can also assist while traveling, such as emergency medical and travel assistance services. This can be especially beneficial if one experiences a medical emergency or other unforeseen situation while away from home. Depending on the policy chosen, Travel Protection can even offer coverage for pre-existing medical conditions, ensuring peace of mind for those with ongoing health concerns.
