A haven of wellness in the heart of a Nairobi suburb, this is a space for relaxation against a backdrop of nature Created exclusively for guests of Giraffe Manor and The Safari Collection.

The Retreat at Giraffe Manor provides the perfect beginning or ending to any African safari. Surrounded by nature, it offers an exquisite wellness experience for our Manor House guests as well as a day room facility for guests of The Safari Collection portfolio who require a stopover in Nairobi. Located just 80 metres to the left of the main manor house, it shares the same tranquil outlook over the forested giraffe sanctuary.

Our Nairobi Retreat

Designed to pay homage to the original house next door, The Retreat at Giraffe Manor is an elegant mix of open plan indoor and outdoor spaces. High ceilings and impressively large arched windows frame the Manor’s iconic herd of giraffes which might be glimpsed loping across the lawns in the distance or at the end of the infinity pool.

Our four day bedrooms are all located on the first-floor and a provide peaceful space for those wishing to rest pre and post-travel. Guests are NOT able to stay overnight at The Retreat or visit Giraffe Manor, however our en-suite bedrooms can be booked for the day and provide the ultimate comfort alongside our wellness centre.

Retreat Pass

An ideal option for those seeking to unwind in the serene surrounds of The Retreat, but do not require a day bedroom. The Retreat Pass allows full use of all the facilities so you can soak in the hot tub, book yourself in for a spa treatment, take a dip in the pool or work out in the gym. Visit Daisy’s Café for a scrumptious homemade snack or meal, recline in the lounge with a drink from the bar or soak up some rays on our roof top garden or poolside sundeck.

For those wishing to rest pre and post travel, The Retreat at Giraffe Manor offers four luxury day bedrooms available exclusively for guests of Sala’s Camp, Sasaab and Solio Lodge to book. They provide peaceful spaces in which to sleep, bathe in spacious en-suites or perhaps write your travel journal at the desk space. Each room is lovingly named after our youngest giraffes at the Manor.

Each day room is subtly different in size and design with twin or double bed options and three have an additional day bed. Huge walk-in rain showers flooded with natural light from above, ample room for reorganizing luggage and space in which to relax come as standard.

Waridi’s Room and Nandi’s Room have open plan bathrooms with a separate WC, whilst Lily’s Room and Alizeti’s Room have doors separating the bathrooms.

Guests are NOT able to stay overnight at The Retreat or visit Giraffe Manor, however our en-suite bedrooms can be booked for the day and provide ultimate comfort alongside our wellness centre.
