In the third episode, Giles and Monica discover Giraffe Manor, a unique hotel where giraffes, staff and guests all coexist in a hunting lodge on the edge of Nairobi National Park. It is the operational headquarters of Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley, fourth generation Kenyans who also own three satellite luxury lodges and camps throughout Kenya and east Africa. But it is at Giraffe Manor that they serve an awe-inspiring breakfast like no other, as giraffes join guests in the hotel dining room. Monica meets head chef David Kisevu and goes food shopping with him in Rongai. Giles and Monica fly to the remote outpost of Sasaab Lodge, a six-acre plot set within 82,000 acres of land owned by Samburu tribespeople. The Samburu are the hotel's landlords, and the hotel offers local people employment - up to 75% of the hotel's staff are Samburu. Giles and Monica follow their new co-workers back to their village to find out how the hotel has impacted tribal life. |
