Extraordinary Africa>Kenya>Nairobi>Karen Blixen Coffee Garden
Karen Blixen Coffee Garden is a characterful, homely feeling lodge in the smart Karen suburb of Nairobi.
What’s Karen Blixen Coffee Garden really like?
The historic main building dates back to 1906 and outside there are 6 standard cottages, 3 family cottages, and a honeymoon cottage. They’re all ensuite and have little fireplaces for cold evenings- Nairobi is fairly high up so it can get rather cold at night.
There’s a simple restaurant, though Nairobi has a thriving restaurant scene, so you may want to try a few meals out if you are staying for more than a night or two.
What can I do at Karen Blixen Coffee Garden?
Karen Blixen Coffee Garden has a small pool to burn off steam and the fantastic location means you are well placed for visits to the Giraffe Centre, elephant orphanage (the latter must be pre-booked) and the Karen Blixen Museum. For shopping there’s Utamuduni, the House of Treasures Kazuri beads, and Matbronze all fairly nearby.
