The movie "Out of Africa" was primarily filmed in Kenya, with several key locations including:
- Shaba National Game Reserve in Isiolo County, northern Kenya, where many outdoor and safari scenes were shot.
- Maasai Mara National Reserve, where iconic scenes such as the movie poster image and the shampoo scene on the Mara River were filmed.
- The area around the Ngong Hills near Nairobi, which featured colonial houses and the landscape of the story.
- The Karen Blixen Museum area, located in the suburb of Karen near Nairobi, though the actual house in the film belonged to the wife of Kenya's first president.
- Nairobi School stood in for the Government House scenes depicting British colonial administration.
- Additionally, some scenes set in Denmark were filmed in Norfolk and Surrey, England, including Castle Rising, a 12th-century castle used in the film.
These locations capture the essence of the film’s story and its breathtaking setting in Kenya and parts of England for the Denmark sequences.
