Denys Finch Hatton Grave
Stone obelisk on a Ngong Hills hillside, marking the grave of a Kenyan settler-era aristocrat and hunter.
This guide to the Denys Finch Hatton Grave near Nairobi opens with Karen Blixen watching her lover's resting place from her farmhouse five miles away, because she chose the spot herself. It traces Finch Hatton's life as an English aristocrat, hunter, and pilot whose affair with Blixen became the heart of her memoir Out of Africa, and the crash of his yellow De Havilland Gipsy Moth on the fourteenth of May, nineteen thirty-one, that killed him and his Kikuyu servant Kamau. She marked the grave herself with white stones from her own garden and raised a calico pennant she could see from her veranda, miles away.
