Hotels We Love In Kenya

As a premier holiday destination, Kenya has several iconic hotels, as well as any number of fabulous safari lodges. Some of the best hotels are in and around Nairobi, and many of them on the lovely Indian Ocean coast at Mombasa or to the north or south.

It's something of a tradition to follow the excitement of a safari with some time to relax on the beach, and, while Zanzibar or Mauritius are great options for this, the Kenyan coastline is also an outstanding beach destination that offers superb beaches, outstanding hotels and excellent value for money.

The hotels on this page give just a taste of the range of options available in Kenya.

Contat us to put together a holiday in Kenya with a wonderful Nairobi hotel, a thrilling safari and some glorious chill-out time on the beach!

Giraffe Manor is an exclusive boutique hotel, owned by The Safari Collection. Often referred to as one of the most instagrammed properties in the world, Giraffe Manor is set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi.

Giraffe Manor is one of Nairobi’s most iconic buildings. The historic manor house has extraordinary appeal, that harks back to the 1930s when visitors first flocked to East Africa to enjoy safaris. With its stately façade, elegant interior, verdant green gardens, sunny terraces and delightful courtyards, guests often remark that it’s like walking into the film Out of Africa: indeed, one of its twelve rooms is named after the author Karen Blixen.

One of the most fascinating things about Giraffe Manor is its resident herd of Rothschild’s giraffes who may visit morning and evening, poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary.
