Since reading The Tiger Who Came To Tea, we’ve always harboured secret fantasies of dining with our own exotic creature.

So you can imagine our delight when we heard about Giraffe Manor, a boutique hotel in Kenya whose resident giraffes will often amble over to the main building to join guests at meal times.

“The most fascinating thing about Giraffe Manor is its herd of resident Rothschild giraffe who may visit morning and evening,” the hotel’s website insightfully reads.

It adds that the friendly animals will “sometimes poke their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat,” a phenomenon that has been snapped by a number of (understandably) thrilled hotel visitors and shared on Instagram (below).
