Karen Blixen Museum
The Karen Blixen Museum, located at the foot of the Ngong Hills in Nairobi, is the former home of the famous Danish author Karen Blixen, best known for her memoir Out of Africa. The colonial-era farmhouse has been preserved as a museum that captures the life and times of Blixen during her years in Kenya in the early 20th century. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and nestled in the serene suburb of Karen, the museum offers visitors a glimpse into both colonial history and literary heritage.
