Karen Blixen Museum & Kazuri Bead Workshop

The farmhouse at the foot of the Ngong Hills, and the women's workshop next door

  • Day trip

Half a day in Karen. The Blixen farmhouse is kept much as it was when the author of Out of Africa lived in it; Kazuri began in 1975 as a workshop for two single mothers and now employs several hundred women making hand-painted ceramic beads.

Trip highlights

  • The Karen Blixen farmhouse and its coffee-farm outbuildings
  • Views to the Ngong Hills from the garden
  • A guided walk through the Kazuri workshop, from clay to kiln to finished bead
  • Easily combined with the Giraffe Centre, ten minutes away
