As Karen Blixen (Meryl Streep) reflects on her life in Africa, she remembers arriving there in 1913 as a wealthy Dane, just on the brink of marrying a prominent Swedish noble. However, an unexpected twist of fate leads to heartbreak when her initial fiancé abandons her. In a bid to find companionship, she proposes to his brother, Baron Bror Blixen (Klaus Maria Brandauer), entering into a marriage of convenience that aims to establish a dairy ranch in Nairobi, British East Africa, with Karen providing the necessary financial support. Their plan is to formalize the union once she joins him a few months later.
Upon her journey to Nairobi, Karens train is interrupted by a big-game hunter, Denys Finch Hatton (Robert Redford), who hands her a significant ivory haul and shares his connection to Bror. After reaching her destination, Karen is met by Farah (Malick Bowens), the Somali headman. Attempting to familiarize herself with her new life, she visits the elite Muthaiga Club but faces resistance while seeking her husband in the men-only area. Nevertheless, she and Bror soon marry, raising her status to that of Baroness Blixen.
