Karen Blixen Museum
KAREN BLIXEN MUSEUM- Located 10km from the city centre, the Museum belongs
to a different time period in the history of Kenya. Its history dates back
to 1914, during the First World War, with the arrival of Karen Blixen from
Denmark. Â . After her departure in 1931, the suburbs retained the
commemorative home of Karen. 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.
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 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.
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.
