Karen Blixen Museum Tour

The Karen Blixen Musuem is housed in the very farmhouse where Danish author (Out of Africa) Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) lived from 1914 to 1931. The house is located at the foot of the Ngong Hills and was built in 1912, and bought by Karen and her husband Baron Bror von Blixen Fincke in 1917. The museum will delight fans of her books and of course the movie starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. The only disappointment voiced by visitors is that the real life Denys Finch-Hatton has got nothing on Robert Redford as far as looks (and hair)!
The movie was not shot on location as the house was deemed too dark, but the set was built on the same grounds. You can browse through the house which is actually quite small, see her bedroom and dining room filled with furniture she apparently owned at the time. A museum shop sells some “Out of Africa” souvenirs, as well as handicrafts. The gardens are still lovely and the view of the Ngong Hills are of course unchanged. Opening hours are: 9.30 am to 6 pm daily.
