Kiambethu Tea Farm and Lunch Tour with Entry Tickets
Description
Located just a short drive from Nairobi in Limuru, the farm was established in 1910 by AB McDonell, the first person to commercially grow, make, and sell tea in Kenya. Instead of a sterile corporate tour, guests experience a deeply personal narrative told over tea and coffee in a charming, historic farmhouse surrounded by lush, rolling hills. The experience beautifully bridges the gap between old-world heritage and modern sustainable farming, making it a peaceful, educational sensory escape that feels worlds away from the city's hustle.

Itinerary
The day begins with a convenient morning pickup from Nairobi, followed by a warm reception at the farmhouse with a cup of fresh tea or coffee while listening to the farm's fascinating history. A guide will then lead them on a sensory walk through the tea shambas to demonstrate how tea leaves are hand-picked, followed by a guided stroll through the adjacent indigenous forest to spot wild Colobus monkeys and learn about traditional medicinal plants. The experience culminates back at the cottage, where clients will enjoy a delicious, three-course buffet lunch made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, complemented by drinks and estate wines before their return drive.
