Have you ever leaned out of a second-floor window to pet a giraffe on the head? Probably not. At Giraffe Manor, these gentle giants feel right at home as they freely roam the property. They often poke their heads through open windows, bend their necks to greet you on the terrace, and even join you for breakfast, happily accepting snacks from your hand. Spending time with these extraordinary creatures at Giraffe Manor offers a truly unique and unforgettable experience for guests of all ages.
Giraffe Manor lives up to its name: a charming, Victorian-style mansion with a resident herd of endangered Rothschild giraffes strolling around the grounds, which feature manicured lawns and 140 acres of indigenous forest. It’s quite a sight to see these towering residents peek into the dining room windows at breakfast. Luckily, they prefer acacia leaves over pancakes!

Travel Reviews
VerifiedLindsey MGreat safari experience! I found this company on a Google search, and I'm so glad we ended up booking with them. They take care of all of the details, they are happy to make changes to the itinerary before you book, and they are very responsive to questions along the way. Martha was our contact person, and did a great job with this. They are a small, locally owned company, which we also appreciated. Our guide Nickson was great, and always made sure to get us the best views of the animals. He was friendly and informative, and we're glad we got to spend our 10 days with him. If we come back, we will definitely be booking with this company again.VerifiedAnuja66Amazing. Spectacular. Highly recommend. No words are enough for a spectacular experience we had on this trip. One of the best. Maliwaza was our sales rep- efficient, prompt and took care of each and everything for us. From the time we were picked in Nairobi to the point we took off- she was there for us. She even kept track of our flights at all times. She came and met us in Arusha which we all thought was such a very nice gesture. The two drivers we had - Joseph and Ali- my God they were the best. They were patient and made sure we saw and experienced the best of their countries. They were so proud of showing us their spectacular land.Ali took us to the best place for shopping. Every hotel we stayed in was over the top. I know I am coming back and will use Bush2City again. All our friends want to know more about the trip and we will for sure recommend this company and Maliwaza. Thank you Maliwaza and thank you Bush2City.VerifiedRonAmazing Safari Experience!!! I cannot say enough about our safari. Just absolutely marvelous. From my first conversation with Maliwaza a year ago, to the completion of an absolutely marvelous life changing experience, Bush 2 city was nothing but outstanding. Planning a safari takes a lot of research. Maliwaza patiently answered all my questions and planned an incredible experience for us. For anyone wanting to do a safari, don't look no further. Just call Maliwaza at Bush 2 city. It will save you a lot of hassle and decision making. Joseph was our guide in Masai Mara and Ali was our guide in Serengeti. Two absolutely marvelous individuals who gave us just a phenomenal experience. They knew where to look for great sightings and give us an incredible adventure. The lodges Maliwaza booked for us were nothing short of amazing. Ilkilani in Masai Mara, River camp in Northern Serengeti, Sametu camp in central Serengeti and Lions Paw in Ngorongoro crater...all just amazing with great service, fabulous people, lovely amenities, great food and drinks, sunrise or sunset views and amazing wild life views right from your camp room. In Tarangire we stayed at the Sopa lodge, another lovely experience...elephants in your back yard:)We saw just about everything we could through the trip...lions, cheetah, leopards, wildebeest migration crossings ( we were so lucky, we saw two crossings...Ali was just amazing). Joseph got us to see a lioness hunt for her cubs.. phenomenal. Can't forget to mention the giraffe, zebra, warthog, baboons, elephant herds, buffalo herds and more. Just outstanding.The land cruisers both Joseph and Ali drove were in amazing condition. They kept the vehicles in great shape..and both are excellent drivers. They were always and ever ready to show us more.Can't miss telling you about the balloon safari in the Serengeti. Just phenomenal. Must do. Don't skip it. Also, highly highly highly recommend flying from Masai Mara into Serengeti...its way more convenient and a fabulous adventure...3 small planes with flight durations of 8 mins, 15 mins and 18 mins. Amazing out of Africa experience.All in all, Maliwaza at Bush 2 city, Joseph, Ali all are just fabulous. We will be back in 2026! Highly recommend using Maliwaza at Bush 2 city for planning your safari adventure!!!VerifiedDavid CA Safari Beyond Expectations We, my husband and I went on a trip to Africa that was planned through Maliwaza Kazimoto at Bush2City in Tanzania. We would recommend both without hesitation! As we had no idea where/how to start planning such a trip, we initially emailed several tour companies in Africa. Although all responded, Maliwaza was the only one who sent us detailed information and an itinerary before even knowing if we were truly interested. From beginning to end, Maliwaza planned our trip, was available by phone (WhatsApp) and email, responded within hours and answered all of our MANY questions, made changes with dates and places, and helped to set up an itinerary that not only included their specialty with Safaris but a trip to Victoria Falls as well. Even while on the trip, Maliwaza checked in with us and our tour guides to ensure all was going well. Our two tour guides (Joseph in Kenya and Hussein in Tanzania) were fantastic. They were friendly, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable As my husband is hearing impaired, both readily agreed to wear a hearing aid microphone on their shirts so that he could hear all they had to say. Our accommodations were amazing. We stayed in tent camps/lodges in all the parks. The tents were fully equipped, beautifully decorated, and as comfortable as any luxury hotel room. We have never encountered staff as friendly and accommodating as we did throughout our trip. They greeted us at our safari jeep upon arrival, knew our names within hours, accommodated all of our needs (including my husband’s picky eating), and welcomed us “home” when coming back at the end of the day. Every aspect of the trip went smoothly and we never had to worry about what we were doing next, how we were getting there, and who would be meeting us. Our entire trip was beyond expectations due to the amazing sights, and the wonderful planning, execution, and follow-up of Bush2City.The only exception to our accommodation was the Acacia Ngorongoro Luxury Camp and this was due to no fault of Bush2City. They were clearly not ready to have opened in July but told Bush2City that they were. However, when we arrived there and saw all the shortcomings, our guide was immediately on the phone to Maliwaza who immediately contacted the lodge manager, who did all she could to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We would use Bush2City again in a heartbeat.VerifiedKathleen BHighly Recommend Bush 2 City! Maliwaza from Bush 2 City organized a private safari for a friend and me last year to Tanzania. I loved it so much that I returned this year with my daughters, adding Kenya to the tour. Maliwaza's attention to detail is amazing. She managed to find the most beautiful lodges for us with great food. I am on a strict gluten free diet and she made numerous calls to each lodge to confirm that my dietary needs could be met. Aziz was our guide in Tanzania. He was wonderful, managing to find all the animals that we hoped to see, patiently allowing us as much time as we wanted observing the animals, and answering all of our questions. We highly recommend him. In Kenya, Kevin, along with his trainee Richard were our guides. Again we were most pleased. Kevin is a skilled driver and both are enthusiastic and passionate guides, as well as environmentalists. Starting at sunrise breakfast, they always took full advantage of each day, ensuring we maximized the precious time that we had on the trip.Thank you for a great trip Bush 2 City!VerifiedEdward ZBest Tour Company in Tanzania This was our second trip to Africa. We decided on Tanzania. After much research we decided on Bush2City Advantures. I am so glad we did! Miliwaza did a fabulous job arranging a 10 day private safari across the Serenggeti! Nickson, our guide, was fabulous! He became like our grandson taking care of us the whole trip!😀😀VerifiedJustin BLet Bush 2 City handle your safaris. They are the best. The greatest experience of our lives! But Africa will always be amazing, what makes the difference is the customer support and 1 on 1 communication you have with Bush 2 City to make sure every detail of your trip is perfect. We ended doing a custom 24 day safari with multiple flights, boat rides, hot air balloon rides ect... and the execution was flawless. Bush 2 city made sure everything was on time and exactly what we wanted. I can't say enough good things about them.VerifiedellefamilyFamily trip of a lifetime I wish I could give them 6 stars. Bush2City created the most amazing vacation for my family of 5. We made unforgettable memories in Kenya and Tanzania. The trip was flawless from start to finish. We had a safari of about 7 days tailored to our requests: Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorogo and Zanzibar. Working with Maliwaza to create our dream itinerary was a breeze. She was extremely responsive to my many questions and nothing was too much trouble. She was flexible and positive. Maliwaza ensured we had the best lodges and tent camps. She worked really hard to find us top notch accommodation despite that we booked with only a few month’s notice. All our accommodation was tip top/could not be better in terms of quality, location, food, safety, comfort and lovely staff. She obviously worked very hard liaising with all hotel staff as they were all well aware of my child’s food allergy. This was logistically a very complex trip. Yet it went seamlessly without a single glitch. We noticed other not so lucky (not Bush2City) travellers being let down at park entrances where their tour company had not done the necessaries and they were delayed at park gates and very annoyed. Never did we experience anything like this. Everything was taken care of thought through for us. We loved our safaris. Our driver in Kenya, Philip, was excellent. He knew everything about all the animals and taught us endless information. He was very experienced and knew how to spot all the animals. In Tanazania, Aziz was equally experienced. We felt safe and in good hands. Aziz knew where to find the best spots on all our safaris. He was fun to talk to and it was very interesting to learn about Tanzania from him. He also knew everything about the area and the animals. We could not have been happier with both our drivers. However, more than anything Maliwaza did endless behind-the-scenes organising to make everything run so smoothly. We appreciated how adaptable Bush2City was. They allowed us to pay by Amex when we were having difficulty transferring money. This gave us peace of mind. This was an unforgettable family trip of a lifetime and we thank Bush2City for making it happen. We would 500% recommend them again. We were lucky to find them thanks to friends who had just as wonderful an experience with them the year before. How lucky were we to have this recommendation! Not only did Maliwaza ensure our trip with Bush2City was perfect, but she was instrumental in helping me plan our last day in Nairobi, even though our trip with Bush2City had ended by then! We were so grateful! Wish we could go again next year! If you are considering Bush2City, you are in for a treat.Verifiedjjax12Fantastic Operation and the Best of the 5 Safari Trips I’ve Done This was my 5th safari in Africa, and I did this trip with my teenage daughter, so I did a lot of research this time before deciding to use Bush 2 City……they did not disappoint! I actually chose three safari companies for price quotes, and Bush 2 City was competitive on price, and blew me away with their very professional and detailed itinerary suggestion (with photos of the activities and accommodations). Maliwaza was great to work with for coordinating the trip, and always quick to respond to questions. She helped me pick fantastic lodges to stay at, and I’m glad I followed her advice to slightly adjust our start date to get the lodges that she recommended because they were all fantastic places with great service. She worked with me to customize the trip a bit, and it was clear that she had discussed our needs thoroughly with each lodge and guide because they were all prepared (things like ensuring two beds) and several commented how they knew I was with my daughter and wanted to make extra sure she was comfortable/happy on the trip. As far as the Safari and game drives….WOW! Our guides were very good and we saw something different every day. They knew all the parks well, and knew where to go to find what we wanted to see. Ally was especially good at keeping his eyes in the field and spotting things we definitely would have missed. Everything went smoothly the entire trip, and my daughter fell in love with Africa.VerifiedjgreenmunWonderful, once in a lifetime experience. I researched five different safari vendors and found that Bush 2 City appeared to be the best. It is not easy to obtain and keep a 5 star rating for years but that is what they did. They had the best itinerary, best accommodations with nice lodges instead of tents, were always helpful in answering my questions and Maliwaza was always very eager to please. Imagine my surprise when my wife and I arrived and found out I had unknowingly booked a private tour. Wow. In addition, our driver and guide Nickson was extremely pleasant, very caring and went out of his way to find the best animal locations. While other safari vehicles became stuck in muck or experienced mechanical breakdowns, Nickson had none and always stopped to lend a hand. Further, Nickson sought out the best possible wildlife views. We never thought we’d see such a sight as a lioness calmly bringing her cubs out into the open right next to us and proceed to gently carry them in her mouth to taller grass just on the other side of our stopped Land Cruiser. Wow! Cheetahs, lions, elephants, hippos giraffes, monkeys and baboons by the score, all just doing what they do within just a few feet of us, was mesmerizing and Nickson found them all. The best was yet to come for we found wonderful, helpful and friendly Tanzanians everywhere we went. We will always have fond memories of the wonderful people of Tanzania and amazing sites to carry around with us. Thank you Maliwaza and Nickson.
