What To Expect

Kiambethu Farm

Begin your tour with pickup from your central Nairobi hotel in time for a 9.45am departure. Traveling in the comfort of a private vehicle, set out on the around 45-minute drive to Limuru, situated at 7,200 feet (2,195 meters) above sea level. On arrival at the Kiambethu Tea Farm, follow your guide on a walking tour of the plantation. Hear the history of the farm, which was set up by AB McDonell in 1910 and is still run by the same family, then learn more about the growing, picking, and processing of the tea leaves. As you explore the farm, keep a look out for exotic birds and Colobus monkeys. Back at the farmhouse, take a seat on the verandah, looking out over the tea fields and the distant Ngong Hills, and sample the freshly brewed tea for yourself. Finally, tuck into a delicious 3-course buffet lunch, all made with produce fresh from the farm. On return to Nairobi, your tour ends with drop-off at your hotel around 4pm.

My family had the most excellent day from the start of our trip. Our driver Jane was prompt and very safe driving us to and from the Tea Farm. The Tea Farm was also such an excellent experience with a lot to learn about tea from Fiona, to see the farm itself with a tour from Stephen, tasting tea, and such a delicious meal lead by Joseph. Each tour guide and host was nicer than the next. We finished the day off with a safe and comfortable journey back to Nairobi with Jane’s help. Highly recommend!

This was easily the best part of the tour for us in Kenya, and that's saying something cos we had a lovely time in Maasai Mara too. The staff is lovely, the food is excellent, the tour itself is informative, the place and weather are sublime. All in all, definitely definitely do this. It's the most value for money experience you'll have and the dogs on the property are an adorable bonus

A very interesting visit with plenty of information about tea and its production. The lunch was delicious, and the tea tasting was excellent. The walk through the forest was fascinating, and the guide was fantastic
