"I had a farm in Africa....."

After having read the book Out of Africa, written by Karen Blixen, and having seen the movie several times, Phil and Judy wanted to visit the Karen Blixen house museum in Karen (a suburb of Nairobi). This is the actual house where the story took place (1914-1936). The movie was shot here on the grounds, but the house was too small for the indoor shooting, so a bigger replica was constructed about 3 k away.

You will remember that coffee was the crop raised by Karen Blixen, and that at the time others hadn't tried to grow coffee in Kenya. Coffee is now a major export of Kenya.
