Where to stay in Nairobi West
Where to stay in Nairobi West : There are numerous lodging options in Western Nairobi, each situated in a different part of the city. We have recommended the Nairobi suburban hotels listed below.
Giraffe Manor
A stay at Giraffe Manor will provide you with one-on-one encounters with giraffe during your Kenya tour. It is situated on twelve acres of private property and about twelve miles from Nairobi’s downtown and eighteen miles from JKI Airport, the hotel retains a large portion of its original 1932 design while providing all the contemporary conveniences you need for your visit. The Rothschild giraffes at the Giraffe Manor are what really make it stand out from other Kenya safari destinations. You won’t have to worry about trying to see them on the grounds because they frequently poke their heads through open windows and over balconies to collect feed pellets from Kenya safari visitors.
While each of the 12 rooms provides a comfortable space to unwind and get ready for the day’s events, the room you select may have an impact on how you engage with the giraffes. The giraffes can also be fed from the window of the Kelly Room, and the balconies of the Daisy and Betty Rooms are great for feeding outside. But Jock Room, where you can feed a giraffe from the comfort of your bed, might be the most amazing experience with the giraffes.
More than 180 species of avi-fauna have been identified on the hotel grounds, and if you are looking for lodging for a small group or family tour of Kenya, the lodge offers two large suites, Finch Hatton and Karen Blixen. The giraffes are not accessible near these suites but in the breakfast room. You may also see other wildlife here such as dik diks, bushbucks, warthogs, and a few others. Giraffe Manor expanded its little collection by two rooms in 2017. The cuisine at Giraffe Manor is a fusion of traditional and foreign ingredients that are expertly blended to satisfy your appetite, making dinner a magnificent affair.
Furthermore, savouring the flavours under the starry night sky, which is only illuminated by traditional safari lanterns, makes any honeymooner’s and couple’s ideal trip to Africa incredibly romantic. Among the top kenya safari attractions in the area are the city’s historical and cultural sites, the Karen Blixen Museum, the Nairobi National Park and Museum, and the educational Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, which can be included in your guided day tours of Nairobi with kenya safari.
