Neighbourhood · Nairobi
Karen is the Nairobi that Karen Blixen wrote about — a leafy, spacious suburb of large plots, riding stables, the Karen Blixen Museum and the Giraffe Centre where you can hand-feed Rothschild's giraffes over the fence. It feels nothing like the city centre: slower, greener and considerably more peaceful. The drive to Nairobi National Park takes 15 minutes; the city centre takes 45 minutes to an hour in traffic. For travellers who want a safari-adjacent base, morning walks without security anxiety and to sleep in a neighbourhood that genuinely earns its Out-of-Africa associations, Karen is where the experience matches the expectation.
