Breaking News (3rd Jan 2008): Travelers planning travel to Kenya are advised to reconsider their travel plans due to serious unrest in the country. All but the extremely essential travel should be avoided.
Drive through Kenya's Ngong Hills along small villages to the Karen Blixen Museum - the former house of Karen Blixen (the Danish author of 'Out of Africa'). Karen's lovely colonial house, now a museum, was presented to the Kenyan government on Independence Day by the Danish government. The beautiful gardens, the silence of the mahogany-paneled rooms, the fluttering lace curtains, all remind us of the solitary life led by Karen Blixen who became Europe's most renowned writer on Africa. Explore Karen's square corner bedroom, its white wooded bed draped with A mosquito net, see her leather riding boots near A chair and the floor-to-ceiling library shelves. Learn about her past and the series of personal tragedies that prompted her to leave Africa and return to Denmark. From the museum, drive along the resident area of Langata and arrive at the Giraffe Manor. Keep your camera ready to capture Daisy - the famous Rothschild Giraffe. You could also feed giraffes at this beautiful home. On this trip, discover more about Karen Blixen and get familiar with giraffes.
