When I saw this I asked mom if I can post this one!
She took the cute bird one so she said I could.
Now even I would love to visit this place,
but do not think cats are allowed!
Never mind the shots I would have to get and being put in quarantine!
Guess I will stick with just the pictures!

Giraffe Manor is a unique property and hotel in the Lang'ata suburb of
Nairobi, Kenya, famous for is resident herd of endangered
Rothschild giraffes that live in the extensive grounds of the
manor house. Every day shortly before 9am, the mammoth beasts
stroll up to the house and poke their heads through the windows
and doors in search of morning treats
Guests could feed the giraffes from their breakfast table, photograph
them and interact with this graceful animal through the open
window, at the front door and even at the second floor bedroom
window. This is the only place in the world where one can share
breakfast with the world’s tallest animal.
The Giraffe Manor was built in 1932 by Sir David Duncan, in 150 acres
of land running down to the Mbagathi River, the southern boundary
of the city of Nairobi. In the 1960s the Manor was purchased by a
local investor who leased it to a succession of people, including
the late Dennis Lakin, before it fell into disrepair,
unoccupied.

part of their East African Safari. Some spend a week here and The
Giraffe Manor is reported to have many repeat guests, who have
