The former home of Karen Blixen, the author of "Out of Africa" among other books. She fell in love with the country and its people and made it her home away from home.

She chronicles her time in Africa in the book "Out of Africa", an excellent piece of writing. This book was later adapted into a movie staring Robert Redford and Merrill Streep.

The inside of the museum was left as it was when Karen spent her days and nights here. Blixen's square corner bedroom, its white wooden bed swaged with mosquito netting, is at the end of a narrow hall. A pair of leather riding boots stands near a chair. Visitors peer in and sigh. The lion skin carpet, with the head still attached, the beautiful colonial style china, her paintings still on the wall and a study with her books and some pictures are preserved here. It seems that Blixen's actual bed belongs to her godson, long retired and living in Nairobi. The museum is hoping for a bequest. Most of her other possession are in her museum in Copenhagen.  The gardens are immaculately kept and have a magnificent view of the Ngong Hills, at the foot of which "Karen had her farm".

If you wish to visit this museum please contact Woni Safaris and they will be able to organize a memorable tour for you. Karen Blixen Museum is only 20 minutes drive from the city and is a must for any visitor to Nairobi. This tour runs for 1 and a half hrs.

Welcome to Mara Intrepids – the most talked about destination in the world’s most talked about wilderness. The camp enjoys one of the most spectacular locations in the entire Mara ecosystem.

The Maasai Mara is Africa’s finest wildlife sanctuary. Everything about this reserve is outstanding. The wildlife is abundant and the gentle rolling grassland ensures that animals are never out of sight. Birds too are prolific, including migrant birds and 57 species of birds of prey. In the high season (July-October) the reserve is a major concentration area of migratory herbivores including approximately 250,000 zebra and 1.3 million wildebeest.

There are also gazelle, elephant, topi, buffalo, lion (Kenya's largest population), black rhino, hippo, hyena, giraffe, leopard, and mongoose.

The wildlife is far from being confined within the Reserve boundaries and an even larger area, generally referred to as the 'dispersal area' extends north and east of the game Reserve. Maasai live within the dispersal area with their stock but centuries of close association with the wildlife has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and people live in peace with one another.

In the Mara River, hippos submerge at the approach of a vehicle only to surface seconds later to snort and grumble their displeasure. But this richness of fauna, this profusion of winged beauty and the untouched fragility of the landscape, are all subordinate to the Mara's foremost attraction, the march of the wildebeest. After exhausting the grazing in Tanzania's northern Serengeti National Park,

a large number of wildebeest and zebra enter Masai Mara around the end of June drawn by the sweet grass raised by the long rains of April and May.

It is estimated that more than half a million wildebeest enter the Mara and are joined by another 100,000 from the Loita hills east of the Mara. Driving in the midst of these great herds is an unimaginable experience.

The combination of a gentle climate, scenic splendor and untold numbers of wildlife makes the Masai Mara National Reserve Africa’s greatest Wildlife reserve & Kenya's most popular inland destination.

THE GREAT MARA

Wildlife safari in the African lands is always full of surprises, but if you haven't visited the forested wildlife, culture and nature of Kenya then you are missing some exciting wildlife adventure opportunities. The national parks of Kenya provide the best possible chance to take a closer look to the rich bio-diversity of this wild country.

An experience at the Maasai Mara National Reserve

I had just seen on documentaries roaring lions chasing there hunt for food, but have never viewed this live…..…but when it happened, it was just a spine chilling experience! Thanks to the Woni Safaris most experienced Tour Guides for bringing this to reality. I could not believe that animals can actually be viewed at such a close point. It was an out-of-this-world experience, something that I would really love to share with everyone. I would recommend everyone to visit these parks at least once yearly to enjoy the unspoiled wild beauty in Kenya.

The park is also the sight of great views of the rolling plains, breathtaking wildlife; that gives one the chance to watch the wildebeest migrate from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Mara during the July - October Season by crossing the Mara river. The tour will also give you the opportunity to have the perfect game drives that will introduce you to all the kinds of the wildest species with their associated predators. It is a totally new experience to first Tourists to Kenya.
