Karen Blixen Museum tours, things to do and tickets

Follow in the footsteps of Karen Blixen, the Danish writer who lived in Kenya in the early 1900s, on this 4-hour tour from Nairobi. As you travel toward the Ngong Hills, you'll feel like you've been swept onto the set of 'Out of Africa' the moment you arrive at the Karen Blixen Museum, her old colonial farmhouse that features some of her original items. Explore the gardens, where old coffee machines have laid untouched for decades, and then continue to the Giraffe Centre, which protects the highly endangered Rothschild's giraffe. Select a morning or afternoon departure time when booking.

Nairobi ‘City in the Sun’ is the capital of Kenya and boasts one of the finest climates in the world. On the tour, drive by Nairobi landmarks including railway museum, the law courts, parliament buildings and the uniquely shaped Kenyatta International Conference Centre and pick up a few bargains at the colourful city market. From here, proceed to the Carnivore Restaurant for lunch - this is one of Africa’s greatest eating experiences, made famous for its succulent steaks, game meat and great African hospitality. Following lunch, head out of town to Karen Blixen Museum, you feel swept immediately onto the film set of Out of Africa. From here visit the Giraffe Centre, where the highly endangered Rothschild giraffe lives in peace. With an elevated viewing-cum-feeding platform, this tour is wonderful for children.
