Background information:
Giraffe Manor dates back to the 1930’s and was built by Sir David Duncan. It is surrounded by 140 acres of forested land and offers giraffe lovers a unique experience. It was home to Jock and Betty Leslie-Melville who committed themselves to the preservation of Kenya’s Rothschild giraffes. In 1974 two of these endangered giraffes were moved onto the land and they have thrived ever since.
The home has six bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, welcoming staff and excellent cuisine. The grounds are surrounded by indigenous forest that in addition to the giraffe is home to other species of game and birdlife. It is an ideal family location in which to begin a Kenyan adventure.
A stay at Giraffe Manor combines well with a safari in the Masai Mara or at one of the camps at the Meru National Park.
The Masai Mara Reserve is one of east Africa’s best known game viewing areas and adjoins the Serengeti National Park of Tanzania. A land of undulating hills and rolling grasslands, this magnificent park supports a huge animal population. It is perhaps the only region left in Kenya where the visitor may see animals in the same super abundance as existed a century ago. Covering some 700 square miles, the Mara offers wonderful scenery, breath taking vistas and panoramas of vast rolling plains, hills and woodland groves.
The Mara is home to the largest population of lions in Kenya, these magnificent beasts spending most the day sleeping in the shade of acacia trees. Vast herds of buffalo, zebra and wildebeest roam the plains. The waters of the Mara River are renowned for huge numbers of crocodiles and pools of hippo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whilst the acacia woodlands and riverine forests are favoured by leopard and elephant.
The Meru National Park is located east of Mount Kenya and has rich areas of open savannah, woodland and regions of swamp. In the distance are ranges of hills which receive considerably more rainfall than Meru and from which flow fifteen rivers and streams, which pass through the park, providing abundant water for the wildlife and birds.
Meru is a success story of conservation. As during the early 1990’s the area was at the mercy of poachers who dramatically reduced the animal numbers there. Subsequently, with the arrival of Elsa’s Kopje and under the energetic guidance of the park warden,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mark Jenkins, international funds have been raised to protect the national park and the animals are flourishing again and growing in numbers in this fertile and attractive location.
You can expect to see lions, herds of elephant, over a dozen types of antelope ranging from eland to dik dik, buffalo, giraffe and a wide range of other creatures. Game viewing is carried out by open vehicle,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], during the day and at night, when a spot light is used, and you can also enjoy walking safaris from the lodge with an armed guide and national park scout.
