The Giraffe Manor was built by Sir David Duncan in 1932 as a private home surrounded by over 140 acres of its own park and forest. In 1974, Jock Leslie-Melville bought the manor and founded the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife.
The Melvilles set about making the Manor a refuge for a number of endangered species the Rothschild giraffe. Now travelers from all over the world visit the Manor to dine with the giraffes and enjoy the Manor's welcoming and warm accommodations.
