Location:
The Karen Blixen Coffee Garden Restaurant and Cottages are located in Karen, Kenya, a beautiful, peaceful suburb approximately 20 miles from downtown Nairobi. The cottages serve as a perfect alternate accommodation to the traditional Nairobi city hotels when visiting the capital city of Kenya during your African safari overnight, Kenya countryside vacation or even on business.

The cottages are located in the midst of one of the oldest formal gardens in Kenya, which have huge jacaranda, candelabra, cactus, bottlebrush, and other trees. Over 200 types of flowers bloom through the year and numerous bird feeders attract hundreds of varieties of birds.

Accommodation:
The Karen Blixen Cottages are located about a half mile from the famous Karen Blixen Museum, which is one of principal tourist attractions in Kenya. The museum property does not have facilities for meals or lodging and the Coffee Gardens have historically been a major draw for the tourists visiting the museum.

- The Karen Blixen Cottages are near the Wilson airport, which is used for all local safari flights in Kenya.

- The Coffee Garden is located outside of Nairobi so guests coming on safari do not have to deal with the traffic and other problems of large city life.

- The Coffee Garden is within a few minutes drive to the Nairobi National Wildlife Park. On route to the Coffee Gardens guests can be taken from the international airport and within 10 minutes be on their first safari game drive through Nairobi National Park. They will exit on the Langata side of the park to arrive at the Coffee Gardens and Cottages within 10 minutes.

- The cottages are located within 15 minutes of the Kenya Wildlife Service headquarters and zoo and within 10 minutes of the Sheldrick elephant and rhino orphanage.

- All shopping and banking is accessible in the nearby township of Karen where residents will have easy access to banks, pharmacies, local restaurants, and medical facilities.

- The cottages are located about a half mile from the Karen Country and Golf Club. Guests staying at the cottages have access to the country club golf, tennis and pool facilities.

- Karen Blixen Cottages is only two miles from the Institute of Primate Research, an 800 acre designated wildlife sanctuary managed by the National Museums of Kenya. Nature walks and horse back riding through the sanctuary can be arranged as excursions from the cottages.
