The magnificent continent of great adventures, Africa and its tourism cannot settle without the likes of magical Kenya who recently hosted US celebrity Ellen DeGeneres who spent her May vacation at the Giraffe Manor in Nairobi where she shared clips of her adventures at the property.
Her trip which received the needed attention was also topped with cravings when former US president Barack Obama revisited his roots before leaving for his Nelson Mandela Speech in Jo’burg. His trip is expected to boost the tourism sector in 2019!
Indeed, Kenya is one of the world’s leading tourist destinations for a good vacation with its top notched safari destinations.

One destination to look out for on the Gogo Falls road is an exclusive boutique hotel, set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi. The Safari Collection’s Giraffe Manor where you literally can have your supper with Giraffes!
The most fascinating thing about the Giraffe Manor is its herd of resident Rothschild’s giraffe who may visit morning and evening, sometimes poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat. Fortunately, the manor provides guests with snacks to feed the giraffes right from the breakfast or dining table.
