Karen Blixen Museum and Kobe Beads Center Day Tour

The city tour begins with pick up from the hotel drive up towards the foot of ngong hills. At the museum you get to learn of both the Danish ways as well as the African ways portrayed by Karen Blixen. Go through the coffee farms as old machinery and tools used to farm the coffee farm are on the museum. The museum also has artefacts used during the movie “out of Africa”. Have picnic lunch at the museum grounds at own expense.

The next stop visit Kobe Bead Factory. This is a pottery company that makes one of the world most beautiful beads. You will be shown all the stages from the start to the finish. It’s also a unique factory as it employs single mother parents from the poor neighborhood who earn a living to support their families. This pottery, ceramic and bead factory employs all single mothers to make its beautiful gifts and souvenirs – which are now exported all around the world. There is a gift shop which stocks some of their wares. Please note that the workshop is closed Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday, however the gift shop is open 7 days. Then return to the hotel
