Accommodations and Giraffe Interactions
The manor features twelve individually themed rooms decorated with classic elegance, including a room named after author Karen Blixen. Each suite combines modern amenities with timeless charm, and all are air-conditioned for comfort.
One of the most cherished features is the resident herd of Rothschild’s giraffes, which visit the manor at breakfast and afternoon tea. Guests can hand-feed the giraffes from the dining room, making for an intimate wildlife experience. Giraffe Manor’s breeding program has played a vital role in the conservation of the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe species.
