Description

We begin by picking you up from your hotel/apartment/home or home within Nairobi then drive to the Karen blixen museum house where the coffee farmer/settler and author of out of Africa lived from 1914 to 1931. The Museum house remains a serene environment that seems to belong to the past, surrounded by a tranquil garden and indigenous forest, with a splendid view of Karen’s beloved Ngong Hills. She honors the hills with the phrase ‘I had a farm in Africa at the foot of the Ngong Hills’. Farm tools including a tractor from that period, wagons, ploughs and an original coffee processing factory equipment form part of this rich collection, as outdoors exhibits. The well maintained luscious green gardens offer the best setting for all outdoor events include weddings and wedding receptions, corporate galas and team building. In line with Karen’s passion for art, we support local and upcoming artists at the Karen’s Art Corner. Guided tours are offered continuously throughout the day by our well trained multilingual guides. After Blixen, our guide will drive to the David sheldrick wildlife trust which happens only one hour per day as from 11.00 am to 12.00 noon everyday.
