The Karen Blixen Museum, located about ten kilometres from downtown Nairobi, was once the home of the famous Danish author Karen Blixen. Opened in 1985 to remember her life and work, the museum displays collections that reflect the time she spent in Kenya, giving visitors insight into her fascinating life and the historical period she lived in.

The Karen Blixen Museum gained fame after the movie “Out of Africa” was released, which was based on Blixen’s life. Visitors usually take a tour of her cozy house, including her dining room with her own furniture. The museum is surrounded by large gardens with beautiful views of the Ngong Hills. There’s also a shop where visitors can buy souvenirs from the movie and local handicrafts, making the visit even more memorable.
