The Karen Blixen Museum, located 10 km outside of Nairobi, Kenya, "at the foot of the Ngong Hills",[1] is the former African home of Danish author Karen Blixen, famous for her 1937 book Out of Africa which chronicles life at the estate.

Located in what was then British East Africa, the bungalow-style house which is now the Karen Blixen Museum was built in 1912 by the Swedish engineer Åke Sjögren,[2] The house and its attached property were bought in 1917 by Karen Blixen and her husband, Baron Bror von Blixen-Finecke with the intention of operating a coffee plantation.

Nowadays the museum is situated in the upscale Nairobi suburb named "Karen," which was created by the land re-parceling of the coffee farm, after Blixen's return to Denmark.

[2] The Karen Blixen Museum is open every day between 09:30 and 18:00, including on weekends and public holidays.

[2] Visitors have the opportunity to take part in continuously offered guided tours of the house, which features rooms designed in both the original decor and with props from the 1985 film.
