Karen Blixen’s home lies at the foot of Ngong hills,and is now preserved as a museum. A visit here will expose you to the furniture, artifacts and photographs from her days as a pioneer coffee farmer.

Soon after, we drive you to the giraffe center, where families of the rare Rothschild giraffe can be hand fed and photographed from a platform at giraffe’s eye level.

The movie ‘Out of Africa’ was filmed in the farm. In the same compound is Karen Blixen Coffee Garden & Cottages, and Tamambo restaurant for a meal and the authentic Kenyan coffee.
