Giraffe Center and Karen Blixen Museum Guided Tour
Get a taste of Kenyan wildlife and culture on this guided tour from Nairobi. Visit the Giraffe Center to learn more about one of the world's most popular animals before heading to Karen Blixen Museum.This is the beautiful farmhouse where Karen Blixen, author of Out of Africa, lived between 1914 and 1931, until she left Kenya after a series of personal tragedies.
The Danish author ofOut of Africa lived in a coffee plantation farmhouse at the edge of Kenya’s beautiful Ngong Hills, where a small museum now celebrates her life and work. Since much of the original furniture has been preserved, it’s a fascinating glimpse into a colonial-era home and an interesting stop even if you haven’t read Blixen’s books.
