Karen Blixen's Literary Trek: Museums & Nature Stroll

Overview of the tour in Nairobi

The Karen Blixen Museum was once the centerpiece of a farm at the foot of the Ngong Hills owned by Danish Author Karen and her Swedish Husband, Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke. Located 10km from the city center, the museum belongs to a different time period in the history of Kenya and later gained international acclaim with the release of the movie ‘Out of Africa’, an Oscar-winning film based on Karen’s autobiography by the same title.

The well-maintained, luscious green gardens offer the best setting for all outdoor events, including 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.

Our nature trail offers sneak peeks at tree hyraxes and is a haven for birdwatchers, with plenty of birds living here. Our trees are labeled to help in identification and learning. The Karen Blixen Museum has received various awards for excellence of service and is rated highly by Trip Advisor. The Museum is easily accessible by both public and private transport.
