A Historical and Cultural Context of Karen

The Brandy Bus is located in Nairobi, Africa. The quote "I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills" came from Karen Blixen in her book Out Of Africa, a memoir. It is in this location that the story of Karen begins. When a developer by the name Remy Martin bought the land that was owned by Karen Blixen, the Danish author, and converted it into residential lots, Martin had no idea that he had just initiated what would eventually be one of Nairobi's fastest-growing suburbs. More than 80 years later, Karen, which was named in honor of Ms. Blixen, has become a popular suburb that is sprawling with gated communities, and ranches that belong to some key individuals in the country and high-end shopping malls.
