Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

Giraffe Manor £££££

  • Kenya
  • Unusual

Giraffe Manor is a beautiful, eccentric country house located in an upmarket suburb of Nairobi, a hop and skip from major attractions. Originally built in 1932, and saved from dereliction in 1974 by US conservationist Betty Leslie-Melville and her husband Jock. Giraffe Manor has two main buildings – the original Manor House with six bedrooms, and Garden Manor, a four-bedroom annexe, all beautifully decorated. There aren’t many places you stay where a giraffe is likely to pop its head through the window and steal a bit of your breakfast.

The Emakoko £££££

  • Kenya
  • Safari and Wildlife Lodge

The Emakoko sits on Nairobi National Park southern edge – a safari lodge within easy reach of the city. Two rows of stone bungalows are built into a steep hillside, facing into the park and looking out over a winding river. Beside the river, tall trees dot the long grasses, which are occasionally trampled by a wandering hippo.
