Out of Africa!

Few months ago I had an opportunity to visit Karen Museum. This is the house that Karen Blixen lived when she was in Kenya. There is a book and a movie "Out of Africa" about the life of Karen Blixen in Africa. From 1914 - 1931, Karen, the daughter of a wealthy Danish family, arrives in Africa in 1914 to marry Baron Bror von Blixen, her second cousin with whom she shares a desire to lead a more exciting life. The filming took place in her first house "Mbogani", close to the museum. You can see the outside of the home here. Pictures taken by Helvi!
