Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Karen Manor is located in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. It originally covers an area of 600 acres. The current size of Karen Manor and Karen House Museum is only 1/30 of the original size. Although the area is small, it attracts the attention of tourists in Kenya. Karen Brixen, a well-known Danish writer, married Swedish baron Blo Brixen Fenneck in 1914 and came to Kenya with her husband to run a coffee farm. In 1918, Karen met British hunter Dennis Finch Hatton. In 1921, Karen separated from her husband and took over the management of the farm. Dennis died in a plane crash in 1931. Karen then returned to Denmark to become a professional writer. In 1937, her autobiographical novel "Out of Africa" came out and won the Nobel Prize for Literature. So, follow the wind that lifted the window screen into the house where Karen once lived for 17 years, looking for the traces of the life that inspired Karen's creation. The former residence of Karen is about 200 square meters and has 9 rooms. The first 3 rooms are occupied by staff as offices and souvenir shops. In the room on the left at the end of the corridor, there are pictures of Karen and her relatives and friends, among which the more conspicuous is a picture of Karen when she was young placed against the wall at the door. In the photo, Karen is wrapped in a headscarf, with a youthful and lively mouth slightly raised, with a smile that is not a smile, and a pair of eyes as deep as night, full of hope and fantasy about life. In another photo in the bedroom, Karen's hairstyle has changed to a feminine style, her left cheek is supported by her hand, and her eyes are lowered, so she can't see her eyes. Leaving love in Africa is believed to be the theme of this visit.

This is a place where literary youth have to come! Remember to watch "Out of Africa" when I went to college, and was touched by the heroine. Since then, I have fallen in love with the African savannah, coffee, and here you can see the typewriter used by the female writer, the beautiful courtyard, and even her coffee machine.
