“I had a farm at the foot of the Ngong Hills”
There is also a grave right inside the Ngong Hills where Karen Blixen buried her lover, Denys Finch Hatton….
Denys Finch Hatton GRAVE SITE
It is less than 10mins walk from the Kikwata Picnic Site. After a guided tour of the Karen Blixen Museum, drive out to the grave. Wamucii will fascinate you with Denys and Karen’s story and many others of the settler scene in the early twentieth century.
Follow this up with a visit to her home and picnic site for coffee/tea and homemade scones, where you may look around her home and small farm. This gives a glimpse into rural life in Kenya. Further storytelling of Kenyan traditional stories with or without music are on offer.
Alternatively – come to her home for tea and coffee first, and she will treat you to a musical version of the Denys and Karen story. Conclude with a visit to the grave.
