Kenya Safari Tour Packages for Holidays and Adventure
Explore the former farmhouse, gardens and literary history in Nairobi’s Karen suburb.
Private road travel · Shared attraction visits · Your chosen pace
A place with its own character
Managed by the National Museums of Kenya, the Karen Blixen Museum preserves the former home associated with the author of Out of Africa. Its rooms, furnishings and outdoor farm exhibits offer a different perspective on a Nairobi stay.
Give the museum its own place in the day rather than treating it as a drive-by stop. Combine it with another Karen or Lang’ata visit when the available hours and traffic allow.

We were able to see so many animals up close. In addition to seeing all the big 5, he pointed out beautiful birds and all kinds of other wildlife. Going before the high season felt like a big win. We didn’t see the wildebeest migration, but we also didn’t have to battle crowds and it felt like we had the park to ourselves. The lodge he booked for us was amazing, and he made our pickup and drop off a seamless experience…

Kelvin was great. Very knowledgeable about all the animals. Good driver. Highly recommend Utamandani courtyard restaurant for lunch. Went in May so park wasn't too full. GrassesKelvin was great. Very knowledgeable about all the animals. Good driver. Highly recommend Utamandani courtyard restaurant for lunch. Went in May so park wasn't too full. Grasses were high though because of rainy season limiting view of some animals. Great for a half day excursion when in nairobi. Not the same as going for an overnight on serngheti though…
