Visiting times are limited to approximately one hour and are between 11h00 and 12h00 daily.

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 approx 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 nearby 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.

Samburu Safari
Samuru is considered to be one of Kenya's lesser-known national parks however this does not mean that it has less to offer in terms of safari experience.

Enjoy two full days on safari in the Samburu National Park, enjoying twice daily game viewing activities led by expert local guides.

Dry, rugged and stunning, Samburu’s landscape is at once stark and sensual, with its iconic loaf shaped Lolokowe Mountain and hills spreading in every horizon. Its life lung is the Usao Nyiro River coursing through its craggy terrain full of stone, thorn bush and the forked doum palms. In this arid zone where water is scarce and the land baked by the eternal sun, herds of elephants and the big cats roam the plains along with the special "Samburu Five" - the Reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and a long necked antelope called the Gerenuk.

Your days of exploring will end with you sipping on sundowners, taking in the vast African sky before enjoying dinner back at the camp.
