Giraffic park: A gentle giant towers in front of the English-style manor house which guests can pay to stay in
In many ways the setting is just a typical family breakfast.
Young children and their mother enjoy croissants and orange juice while sitting around a table together.
But things become a little different when you notice a giraffe poking its head through the window to join them for a drink and a bite to eat.
In fact, the Carr-Hartley family, have the unusual distinction of sharing their home with eight Rothschild giraffes, some of the rarest on the planet.
In the shadow of Kenya’s Mount Kilimanjaro, the world tallest animals are free to their roam their 140-acre estate and are regular visitors at their English-style manor built in the colonial era.
Every day shortly before 9am the mammoth beasts stroll up to the house and poke their heads through the windows and doors in search of morning treats.
Married owners Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley spend breakfast sipping orange juice and picking at croissants, literally sharing their dining table with the world’s tallest mammal.
And now the pair are sharing the mesmerising experience with the outside world- opening the manor gates to guests at the world’s only giraffe hotel.
Mr and Mrs Carr-Hartley, both 38, spent their childhood living close to the house in Nairobi and have both always been fascinated with the graceful giants.
Mrs Carr-Hartley said: ‘Mikey and I grew up near to this manor house when we were children.
‘We are both third generation Kenyans who have always wanted to work in conservation.
‘Mikey’s family have been involved in the protection of animals for many generations.
‘His granddad was even involved in the relocation of giraffes as far back as the 1930s. Moving the giraffes ensured their protection and continued existence.
‘When the house came up for sale we jumped at the chance to buy it as we had always dreamed of one day owning it.
