This house. The ACTUAL house!
This is the beautiful farmhouse where Karen Blixen, author of Out of Africa, lived between 1914 and 1931, until she left Kenya after a series of personal tragedies. I haven't seen the movie in 30 years. I need a repeat. This was fascinating - The house contains many pieces of her original furniture and our tour guide was fabulous in setting the scene for us as to what really happened here.
The grounds are lovely and I wish we could have spent more time.
the downside? No photos were allowed inside. But it was truly wonderful. Not a huge house, only 2 bedrooms and one bath – but the remarkable lives that were spent here.
Karen was truly a phenomenal woman!
