Close to Nairobi, you can visit the house where Danish author Karen Blixen once lived, and Out of Africa filmed.
It was all very simple. I hopped on a local bus with "Karen" as its destination, talked to the person sitting next to me about the situation in Kenya, and got off the bus after less than an hour. Most of the time, we had actually spent in traffic jams; the distance from Nairobi to Karen is only about 10 km. The ticket seller on the bus advised me when to get off, right at historic Swedo house, built by Swedes in the early 20th century. First, I walked in the neighbourhood, and then went to the house where Karen Blixen stayed from 1914 to 1931. Built in 1912 by a Swedish engineer, the house was bought by Karen Blixen and her husband Baron von Blixen-Finecke. The house was later purchased by the Danish government and given as an independence gift to the Kenyan government in 1964. It was used in the movie "Out of Africa" and turned into a museum shortly after its release in the mid-1980s.
