Giraffe Manor, a Kenyan hotel, was on Sunday ranked the seventh most Instagrammable establishment worldwide by the Dubai Tours and Tickets company.

The hotel was featured on the list alongside five-star establishments from around the world among them Burj Al Arab and Atlantis, The Palm, both located in Dubai.

Giraffe Manor emerged at position seven after an analysis of Instagram posts showed that 117,000 of them were taken by visitors at the hotel.

"Giraffe Manor is home to a herd of Rothschild giraffes. It is part of a breeding programme due to the species of giraffe once being highly endangered. Staying here provides the opportunity to feed and take pictures with the giraffes," read the report in part.

Burj Al Arab was the top most Instagrammable hotel accounting for over 2.5 million posts followed by Atlantis, The Palm, also in Dubai, which featured in 673,000 posts.

The top five list was rounded off by Soneva Jani in Maldives with 423,000 posts, Villa d'Este, Lake Como in Italy with 201,000 posts and Bellagio, Las Vegas which had 187,000 posts.

Closing out the top 10 were Ritz in Paris, France, which had 97,100 posts, Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore with over 96,900 posts and Claridge's in London, UK, with 84,300.

"The top 10 most Instagrammable hotels in the world offer a glimpse into the ultimate social media hotspots," stated a Spokesperson from the company.

"Topping the list is the iconic Burj al Arab in Dubai, with its distinctive sail-shaped silhouette, views of the Arabian Gulf, luxury suites, and world-class amenities. This makes it a magnet for Instagrammers seeking to capture photos of a luxury lifestyle."

Giraffe Manor is a 12-bedroom boutique hotel that offers its visitors interaction with endangered giraffes being taken care of at the facility.

The giraffes join the tourists for breakfast and, at times, peep into visitors' hotel rooms in a unique experience for tourists. 

The hotel occupies 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi and is often referred to as among the most Instagrammed places in the world.
