What to expect

Enjoy a refreshing day trip to Kiambethu Tea Farm, a serene countryside estate nestled in the lush highlands of Limuru—just under an hour's drive from the city. Perfect for nature lovers, culture seekers, and anyone curious about Kenya’s world-renowned tea industry, this half-day experience offers a rare chance to walk through a working tea farm, enjoy homemade lunch, and learn about life on a colonial-era estate.

Your tour begins with a 9:30 AM pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or residence, followed by a scenic drive through rolling hills, green farmland, and quaint roadside towns to reach the cool, misty elevation of Limuru. Upon arrival at Kiambethu, you’ll be welcomed by a member of the farm's founding family, who will guide you through the fascinating history of the estate, which dates back to 1910 and was one of the first commercial tea farms in Kenya.

Learn how tea is grown, harvested, and processed, and even take a short walk into the indigenous forest on the farm—home to playful colobus monkeys, exotic birds, and medicinal plants traditionally used by the Kikuyu community. After the forest walk and tea talk, settle into the farm’s charming colonial-style home and gardens for a relaxing farm-to-table lunch, prepared with locally sourced ingredients and accompanied by unlimited cups of fresh Kenyan tea.

The peaceful ambiance, panoramic views of the tea fields, and personalized storytelling from your hosts make this experience feel like a warm invitation into Kenya’s agricultural heritage and colonial past—without the crowds or noise of the city. This tour includes round-trip transport from Nairobi, entry to Kiambethu Tea Farm, guided tea and forest walk, and a hearty homemade lunch with tea service. It’s a great experience for couples, families, solo travelers, and anyone seeking a slower-paced, culturally rich excursion just outside the capital
