Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, Kenya - A Fantastic African Safari


If any of you are looking for a unique and fantastic African safari, you don't
need to look any further.  Giraffe Manor on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya
rests on a 140 acre piece of land which includes indigenous forests and a 
giraffe center.   


The manor was built in 1932 and originally modeled after a hunting lodge. 
It was bought in 1974 by a Scottish Earl and his American wife.  When
the Earl passed away, his wife opened up their home to visitors in 1984.
The Earl and his wife founded a giraffe sanctuary and the African Fund for
Endangered Wildlife (AFEW).


There is no where else in the world where one
can literally have breakfast with giraffes.

What a fantastic fireplace.


The fabric in the rooms really give it a romantic feeling.



What a romantic scene.


The manor definitely has an old world feel to it.


Now that's amazing!



It's a neat and fantast ic place.  I can
tell it would be the trip of a life time.
