 Giraffe Manor
Built in 1932 by Sir David Duncan, Giraffe Manor is situated on 120 acres, adjoining a primeval forest, home to the bushbuck, dik dik, and more than 180 bird species, just a few miles from the center of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. Jock Leslie-Melville, grandson of a Scottish earl, and his wife Betty, who also founded the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW), bought the property in 1974, successfully raising five highly endangered baby Rothschild giraffes and their subsequent offspring there. Now open to visitors, exclusive, spacious Giraffe Manor is the only place in the world where guests can feed giraffes from their second-floor bedroom window, over the lunch table, and at the front door.

Charmingly appointed with spacious bathrooms, individual verandas and curved French windows giving views onto the tranquil lakeside beauty, the rooms have been decorated in the traditional safari style and feature net-draped beds, soft lamps, intricately carved furniture and pastel-patterned drapes.

 Keekorok Lodge
Recently renovated, Keekorok Lodge, erected in the direct path of the wildebeest migration was the first lodge ever to be built in the Maasai Mara. At the height of migration, the lodge is surrounded by a swarming mass of animals, and there is hardly any need to go on a game drive. Accommodation is in bungalows, single-story blocks and in comfortable shaded chalets. The liberal use of cedar wood, pink and gray Sand River stone and other indigenous building materials offset the green lawns and colorful bougainvillea.
