Shorts: 5. Giraffe Manor, Kenya
Giles and Monica discover Giraffe Manor, a unique hotel where giraffes, staff and guests all co-exist in a 1930s Scottish-style hunting lodge on the edge of Nairobi National Park. It's the operational headquarters of Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley, fourth generation Kenyans who also own three satellite luxury lodges and camps throughout Kenya and East Africa's wilderness. But it is at Giraffe Manor that they serve an awe-inspiring breakfast like no other, as giraffes join guests in the hotel dining room.
