This is your dream hotel. In the middle of Africa, you have this accomodation when you share your bed and breakfast with Giraffes. Yes, that's right, cute beautiful amazing giraffes everythere you look!! It's a brick-and-ivy-clad manor house in Langata, the extremely convenient and leafy suburb of Nairobi that’s close to the city’s international airport and bustling centre. The Manor features grand oversized fireplaces, giant oil paintings, and landscaped gardens. There are twelve bedrooms – two superior suites, eight superior rooms, and two standard rooms. 

The special thing about this is that they are trying to conservate an endangered species, the
Rothschild giraffe. The fact that there were only 1 669 of them in the wild in 2016 makes them the most endangered giraffe species in the world!!

 
How to visit: 

You can only visit if you stay at the hotel.
Safari Collection, owners of Giraffe Manor and other superb properties including Sala’s Camp and Sasaab Lodge, have priced the experience at a minimum of US$620 per person per night*, a rate that’s all inclusive. Although this might well be more than some travellers would usually pay for a single night in a hotel room, guests will come away with outstanding photographs, unforgettable memories of a very special wildlife encounter, and the knowledge that they’ve helped contribute to the conversation of an endangered species - today, thanks to a successful breeding programme and the establishment of the Giraffe Centre nearby, there are more than 300 Rothschild giraffes safe and thriving in various Kenyan national parks.

The Giraffe Sanctuary on property is a must-visit, as well as the nearby David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust — a haven for elephant and rhinos orphans.
In addition to activities around the property, Giraffe Manor creates customized itineraries for each guest. It organizes everything from horseback tours to hot-air balloon rides to camel treks to visits in local villages where you can learn about the native culture.

You already know how I love flamingos for the Aruba post. So this will be just one more flamingo place I have to visit before I die!! It's also one of the least-visited lakes in the Rift Valley, that means it's my kind of place (with not many tourists!!)



Located 300 km from Nairobi, the main city in Kenya, it's the perfect place to do a day trip and enjoy some of the best wild nature the country has to offer. 
Here you can check some hotsprings and geysirs that gush out boiling liquids from the earth's core, and the lake is an important bird area, with its large populations of flamingo. Other species of interest recorded here include many Black necked Grebe, African Darter, White necked vulture and African Fish Eagle. You may also see some buffalos, zebras, cheetahs and baboons!!

How to visit:

First of all, if you're going to see the flamingos, you must go somewhere between june and february (and they gather in the western shore).
If driving, entrances are at Loboi in the north, to the west Maji Moto and from the south is Esmos. It takes around 3 hours to travel from Nairobi to Lake Bogoria.
By public means, matatus from Nakuru charge Ksh.250 to the main Loboi gate and it is about a 2-hour journey.
The lake has three campsites in the southern end. Bring your tent and supplies and camp at Fig Tree Campsite which has a natural jacuzzi!! Obviosly you can always stay in a hotel but then you miss all the fun ahah.
The entrance fee for the natural park depends on your nationality. Children pay less always. For a Kenya citizen is ksh 350, for an east african resident is ksh 600, for other person is 25$.
