Nairobi: Tea Farm Day Trip with Lunch at Kiambethu

From USD 80 per person sharing

Just a short drive from the heart of Nairobi, Kiambethu Farm at Limuru offers a peaceful insight into life on a settler farm. Lying at 7,200 ft., Kiambethu was purchased and farmed by AB McDonell in 1910. He was the first person to grow, make, and sell tea commercially in Kenya – now one of Kenya’s biggest exports. It has been a home to five generations and is currently being run by his granddaughter Fiona Vernon. The farmhouse is set in beautiful gardens surrounded by acres of tea and indigenous forest, home to the Colobus monkey and plenty of other wildlife.

Itinerary Highlights:

1. Taste delicious locally grown tea on the farm where it was grown
2. Take a tour of the tea farm and learn how it is grown and harvested
3. Take a full tour of the farm and learn the farm’s history
4. Historic tea plantation on a site including gardens & Indigenous forest

Itinerary Details:

  • Our driver will pick you up from your hotel at 9:45 am and head towards Limuru Road, which is approximately 30km from Nairobi to Kiambethu Tea Farm. You arrive at 11 am, and you will be offered a cup of tea or coffee. The history of the farm and the tea-making process is informally explained, and then an opportunity to see tea on the farm is provided. You will later take a walk in the indigenous forest accompanied by our resident Kenyan guide, who identifies the plants and explains how they are traditionally used. Look out for Colobus monkeys up close, which is home to various birds and flowers.

    Later, return to the house to enjoy a pre-lunch drink on the veranda with sweeping views across the tea fields of the Ngong Hills. Relax and enjoy a three-course buffet lunch from the farm’s set menu prepared from the garden; desserts are topped with cream from our herd of Channel Island cows. You will later be dropped off at your hotel or residence in Nairobi.

Price includes:

  • In-destination transfers
  • Activities and excursions as detailed

What our clients say about us

Perfect experience

We are very happy that we used Kenya Wild Parks for our 3-day Masai Mara Safari. Our expert Collins was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire experience from early planning all the way to the conclusion of our trip. The website are thorough and easy to use. The accommodations were all comfortable and in line with our expectations. We hope to use Kenya Wild Parks again for a future trip.

Great travel company for Safari in Kenya

From my very first conversations with Erick and Collins, I felt the comfort of knowing I was in good hands and had connected with people having an immensely obvious passion for Africa. In a very real sense, those early conversations were the beginning of the adventure. Home now with our trip behind us, there is no word of a lie to say that we are changed as a family. We couldn't think of a more exciting adventure. Those of you who have your Kenya Wild Parks experience in front of you....I can't tell how lucky you are!

Marvelous experience in Kenya for Christmas

Excellent email communications: prompt, thoughtful, complete. Erick really "listens," which is not always easy, especially with so many moving pieces and someone like me who is constantly asking for more details and options. The services were almost all perfectly executed. I could have done the trip myself but it was better to have Erick handling all the logistics on my behalf--and all for a fair and reasonable price. I felt he cared about our comfort, our time and our desires, and strived to fully exceed expectations.

Fantastic trip to Kenia

All our pre booked excursions were top class. The highlight being our pre-dawn hot air balloon safari. Can be cold due to morning chill but worth it. Hotel adequate and food was great. Stayed in luxury tented camp, exactly what we wanted, a deep connection with nature. The visit to Maasai Village was fantastic for the kids. Overall expensive but a great experience.

Amazing service, great suggestions and organisation

Erick initially presented us with a few starting travel plans and then worked with us to ensure they perfectly aligned with our desires for the trip. Our final itinerary struck a perfect balance, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the lively culture, stunning landscapes, and mesmerizing wildlife. Kenya truly boasts some of the most exquisite natural beauty I've ever witnessed. Apart from the breathtaking locations we visited, Erick constantly checked on us to ensure everything was fine during our safari. Our guide also impressed us. He was very knowledgeable and professional, adding a deeper layer of insight to all our experiences. Our accommodations further surpassed our expectations, providing both luxury and coziness we needed while keeping us rooted in the local surroundings. Thank you, Erick and your team for not just making our adventure possible but also extraordinary. Your skill and commitment truly made all the difference, leaving me eager to plan my next escapade with you! And naturally, I'll be wholeheartedly recommending your services to everyone I know.

Harry was so wonderful to work with

We found Kenya Wild Parks after watching their YouTube content - and we couldn’t have been happier! Harry assisted us with getting the trip itinerary and pricing figured out and everything booked - this was fun for all six of us and the suggestions were all really helpful and appreciated. Everything was thorough with options offered. Moreover, communication was prompt and efficient throughout our interactions.
