Magnificent green view, classic feel of a farm day at Kiambethu tea plantation provides a tranquil insight into life on a settler farm. Learn how Tea is grown, picked and processed. Have a 3-course lunch with fresh ingredients, and of course, a cup of tea and walk through the tea gardens.
Situated at 7,200 ft., Kiambethu was bought 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. Five generations have lived on the farm and it is currently run by his granddaughter Fiona Vernon. The farm house is set within beautiful gardens surrounded by acres of tea and indigenous forest - home to the Colobus monkey and plenty of other wildlife.

Bedste tur! Vi elskede dette sted, og Fiona er den sødeste kvinde nogensinde. Største anbefaling herfra og et must hvis man skal til Nairobi!

This was a last minute request on my side. And Oled was very reactive and was able to arrange a tour for me on time. Right before I had to leave for the airport. Can't ask for a better service.
As for the visit itself, the farm visit was nice. Though we didn't get to pick up some tea leaves :) The food served was really delicious.
PS: The farm owner is a very nice british lady. Not a local.
