Karen Blixen & Giraffe Centre Day Trip
Step back in time and get up close with nature on this classic Nairobi day trip. Your journey begins at the Karen Blixen Museum, the beautifully preserved former home of the famous Danish author. Located at the foot of the picturesque Ngong Hills, the museum offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, with original artifacts, furniture, and photographs from her days as a pioneering coffee farmer. The house gained international acclaim as the setting for the award-winning film, "Out of Africa."
From there, you will be driven to the Giraffe Centre, a non-profit conservation and breeding center for the endangered Rothschild giraffe. Here, you can stand on a raised platform and come face-to-face with these gentle giants. It’s a unique and unforgettable experience as you hand-feed and photograph the giraffes at eye level, a perfect opportunity for amazing photos and memories. The center also features a tea house where you can relax and enjoy a cup of Kenyan tea or coffee before you are driven back to your hotel.
