As soon as we landed on the Sasaab airstrip we noticed a vast difference between the terrain in Samburu and Maasai Mara.

A very short walk away from Giraffe Manor is The Giraffe Centre and the non-profit conservation education centre ‘shares’ the giraffes with the luxury boutique hotel. Also known as the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW), the Giraffe Centre operates an education centre for children, particularly the local youth of Kenya.

You may have seen pictures on Instagram and thought they were photoshopped…surely this place can’t exist? A hotel where giraffes roam the grounds, interacting with guests, eating breakfast with them and even giving them kisses.
