A very surprising visit and you will learn the life of someone who has done so much for Kenya and after who so many places today are named. Wonderful surroundings to relax too.Full review by CDFBologna

Hmmm that’s a long drive if you are not living on the area, to go there just to buy a souvenir is not ideal there are lots of souvenir shops around and they all carry the same stuffs, although I must admit I only gave in to a painting that I saw in Karen Blixen. To answer your question I am not sure as No one drives there just to shop but I suppose you can ask the ticket booth that you only want to visit the shop?.
Can anyone provide the contact details/website of the young, male artist who paints from the porch at Karen Blixen’s House?

No one was painting on the porch the day we visited. Have you contacted the museum and asked for the information you want? I’m sure they would know who is painting there.
