Karen Blixen Museum
Karen Blixen Museum is a national museum in Kenya situated about 19 kilometres from Nairobi City centre. It was built in 1912 and was home to the iconic Danish author of ‘Out of Africa’ (won an Oscar Award)-Karen Blixen. This famous author, artist and poet lived here while setting up her coffee farm at the foot of the Ngong Hills.
In case you missed out, Out of Africa is a book which Karen Blixen wrote about her stay in Kenya and of her beloved farm, and was later made into a great movie. It shows the struggles she underwent to keep her estate and how her understanding and love grew for the culture and the people around her.

Karen Blixen Museum, Nairobi, Kenya If you loved Out of Africa, you'll love this museum in the farmhouse where author Karen Blixen lived between 1914 and 1931. She left after a series of personal tragedies, but the lovely colonial house has been preserved as a museum. Set in expansive gardens, the museum is an interesting place to wander around, but the movie was actually shot at a nearby location, so don’t be surprised if things don’t look entirely as you expect! 60 minutes

My guide was absolutely delighted and shared a wealth of knowledge! I’ve watched Out of Africa many many times and loved the tour. A must see!

Sono tornato per la terza volta in pochi anni. Tutto, per fortuna in questo caso, è rimasto quasi immutato, compresi gli oggetti che appartenevano alla scrittrice, per lo più copie degli originali, che si trovano invece nel museo della Danimarca. Le guide sono tante e piene di buona volontà. Una certa trascuratezza comunque si comincia a notare. E purtroppo il costo del biglietto è scandaloso per la diversità di trattamento tra turisti e locali. I primi devono pagare 1200 scellini (8 euro circa), i secondi meno di 2 euro. Comunque vale la pena, se non altro,per trascorrere qualche ora nel meraviglioso circostante parco.
