Ultra-luxury · karen blixen’s kenya
Follow Karen Blixen and Denys Finch Hatton from the plains they flew over to the farm at the foot of the Ngong Hills. Fly over the Mara as he did, stay at Finch Hattons, the camp that carries his name, tour her home with a private curator and end at Denys’s grave in the hills.
The signature moment: Standing at Denys Finch Hatton’s grave in the Ngong Hills, looking out over the land she wrote about.
