Karen
Blixen Museum
Karen Blixen Museum is located on the
outskirts of Nairobi on Karen road. Its
history dates back to 1914, during the First
World War, with the arrival of Karen Blixen
from Denmark. At the foot of Ngong hills,
Karen Blixen established herself as a
farmer. After her departure in 1931 the
suburbs retained the commemorative home of
Karen.
A Short tour to
the home of the pioneer coffee farmer, Karen
Blixen - of "Out of Africa" fame, is now
preserved as a museum. A visit to this
museum provides an opportunity to step back
in time and gain an insight into this
remarkable woman's life. Views of the Ngong
Hills
can be admired from the beautifully
landscaped gardens of the museum.
The Karen
Blixen museum is one of a number of very
interesting regional museums and
archeological and prehistoric sites of the
National museums of Kenya, and it continues
to be an immensely popular tourist
attraction with the same words ' I dreamt of
Africa'.
Daphne Sheldrick Elephant
Orphanage
David Sheldrick Elephant orphanage where you
come close to elephant calves! Daphne
Sheldrick As part of the David Sheldrick
Conservation Foundation rehabilitates baby
elephants and other wildlife here at her
home just outside of Nairobi National Park.
These babies have lost their mothers to
poaching, death, injuries, on getting lost
in the wild or other tragedies. Daphne and
her dedicated staff raise them to be
released back into the wild when they are
ready. Its worth visiting and see
humanitarian care to the wildlife and the
heart it takes to care. They charge a small
entrance fees instead you can buy a souvenir
or donate for the conservation.
Giraffe centre AFEW (African Fund
for Endangered Wildlife Ltd
The Giraffe Manor Africa's pride of
international celebrity. Since its founders,
Jock and Betty Leslie-Melville, rescued a
baby giraffe named Daisy from a
heavily-poached area of western Kenya in
1974, their home has become a household name
among wildlife lovers world-wide - and Daisy
a star in her own right.
Today, Daisy's
home has been opened to the world - and
provides what is
felt is the very best place to begin or end
your safari or if in a conference or transit
it worth coming close to wildlife from the
bustle of the city where you feed giraffes
with your own hands and have the closest
touch. Other animals includes the tortoise,
warthog and a parrot.
