Karen Blixen Coffee Garden & Cottages

The stay

The Karen Blixen Coffee Garden Estate is steeped in stories of adventure, resilience, and enduring elegance. Renowned Danish author Karen Blixen, famous for her memoir Out of Africa, lived and worked on the estate from 1917 to 1931. Today, the estate has been transformed into a stunning luxury boutique hotel, offering a harmonious blend of history, luxury, and natural beauty, all just a short distance from Nairobi National Park.

Karen Blixen Coffee Garden and Cottages welcomes travellers into a setting shaped by the life and writings of Karen Blixen. Each morning begins with a breakfast served in the garden, followed by quiet hours beside the pool or on the terrace where the same coffee plants once grew. Free WiFi and secure parking allow guests to move between city engagements and the nearby national park without interruption.

The property forms a natural first stop on any tailor-made safari itinerary in Nairobi. Guests can settle into a Classic Room or Junior Suite before heading out for game drives, returning to the same estate each evening for a relaxed dinner and an early night ahead of the next stage of travel.
