Activity – Karen Country Club Golf Course (morning)
The Karen Country Club Golf Course, established in 1937, prides itself as one of Kenya's oldest golf clubs, fostering a family-oriented atmosphere. Much of the 18-hole course is situated on the historic coffee estate once developed by Danish pioneer Karen Blixen, whose life inspired the evocative film 'Out of Africa.' Set against the backdrop of the Ngong hills, the course boasts a diverse array of trees, indigenous woodland, blossoming shrubs, and wildlife.
Notably, the wetlands on the course create a unique ecological aspect, serving as a habitat for myriad bird species and dik diks. The club's rich amenities encompass a wellness spa, swimming pool, modern fitness centre, bowling green, squash and tennis courts. This renowned establishment has also proudly hosted the esteemed Barclays Kenya Open golf tournament.
