Day 1
Full Day Out of Africa – David Sheldrick, Lunch Karen Blixen and Giraffe Centre
Depart to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust situated on the outskirts of Nairobi (approximately 45 minutes drive).The Sanctuary is run by Angela Sheldrick and is set in the grounds of her late mother’s, Dame Daphne Sheldrick’s, house. Here, you will see the orphaned animals and meet the people who handle and care for these animals. It’s an interesting excursion and the team who run the orphanage are always willing to spend time answering any questions guests have to ask. From here, proceed to the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden for lunch (set menu). The Historic Swedo House at the Karen Blixen Coffee Garden and Cottages, Ltd. was the original hunting lodge/farm house which was built around 1906 to 1908. It is located approximately a half mile from the Karen Blixen museum. The historic Grogan/MacMillan Manor House was moved brick by brick from downtown Nairobi to the Coffee Garden in 2008 to save it from destruction.
It is the site of the original farmhouse of the property, which now is near the Karen Blixen Museum (of “Out of Africa”). The Coffee Garden sits on 5 ½ acres of land with large hundred year old trees and a beautiful garden with hundreds of different varieties of blooming flowers, and a large population of birds.
Following lunch, head to the Karen Blixen Museum. Once owned by Danish Author Karen and her Swedish Husband, Baron Bror, and based at the foot of the Ngong Hills, the farm house gained international fame with the release of the movie ‘Out of Africa’ an Oscar winning film based on Karen’s an autobiography by the same title. Later visit the Giraffe Centre, where the endangered Rothschild giraffe lives in peace. With an elevated viewing-cum-feeding platform, this tour is wonderful for children. Arrive back at your hotel or the city centre late afternoon
