Named after the property’s owner, Karen Blixen, this museum was set up in 1985 on the Blixen’s coffee plantation, which is at the foot of the Ngong Hills. The 1985 movie “Out of Africa” was based on a book of the same name, which was authored by Karen Blixen. The colonial farmhouse retains its original look, including furniture, utensils, photographs, paintings, etc. The museum’s walls are adorned by oil paintings, which were painted by Karen Blixen herself.

How to get there

The museum is located in Karen, a leafy suburb 20 minutes from the city center. It is advisable to take a taxi, as the area is not adequately served by public transport.
