Visit the Karen Blixen Museum in Nairobi

Anyone winging their way to Kenya will have likely heard the name, Karen Blixen. After arriving in Nairobi, her home-turned-museum makes a good first port of call. Karen Blixen's story was made famous by 'Out of Africa', which portrayed her life in the hills of Nairobi. The hundred-year-old house she once lived in was given to the Kenyan government after gaining independence. It has since become a museum, recounting the the life and work of Karen Blixen, with a collection of fascinating letters, books and art.
