Kiambethu Tea Farm

You will be picked up at your hotel and drive to Limuru, upon arrival, over a cup of tea or coffee, you will hear about the history of the farm and the process of making tea before you have the opportunity to see tea in the field.

Then, take a walk in the indigenous forest with a guide who will identify the plants and explain how they are traditionally used. Look out for the Colobus monkeys and wander in the gardens which are home to a wide variety of birds and flowers.

Experience a wonderful day out in the tea farms of Kiambethu. Excellent vegetarian lunch and delicious homemade eggless ice cream. The walk in the forest is lovely.  This is a perfect getaway outside of Nairobi. About 45-60 minutes from the Wetlands area it is situated in the highlands where tea farming is common. It’s a tea farm too. The proprietor invites you into their home, shares about the tea farming process, send you on a farm tour, and then welcomes you back with a fresh lunch made from ingredients locally farmed.

Return to the house to enjoy a pre-lunch drink on the verandah with sweeping views across the tea fields to the Ngong Hills. Enjoy your three-course buffet lunch from a set menu prepared with vegetables from the garden and desserts topped with cream from the herd of Channel Island cows; you will then be dropped at your Nairobi Hotel or residents.
