Looks like an airfield or train station in Nairobi? The sign obscured by the people in the photo looks like it says NAIROBI and a quick search of The Services Co Ltd PO Box 460 (written on the building) pulls up the Kenya Gazette.

Some wild guesses:
second from left (partly obscured) - Bror Blixen?
to the left of Osa (to the right from her perspective) - Phil Percival?
unresearched .....

Next tricky hint. Click on the menu item for Expedition 1924, there is a description, of the Lake Paradise Expedition.
http://safarimuseum.com/gallery/#/EXPEDITION%20Africa%201924/
The Lake Paradise Expedition of the Johnson's is well written about. Probably movie footage as well. Should be lots of information recorded.

Yeah I went through a lot of the pictures and knew that the Johnsons eventually went there. I've identified several of the characters standing on the left side of the picture and hope to find a picture of two of one in particular holding a certain H&H takedown rifle. I don't think this was all one safari group.

Looks like a farewell party photo on the start of the expedition from Nairobi to me.
