Just a short drive from the heart of Nairobi, this 6 hour private tour takes you to Kiambethu Farm at Limuru, which provides a tranquil insight into life on a settler farm. 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, which now you will have a chance to taste. Five generations have lived on the farm and it is currently run by his granddaughter Fiona Vernon.

Wir haben sehr viel über das Pflanzen und Ernten von Teeblättern erfahren. Die Lokation ist wundervoll und der Tee besonders lecker.

I visited the Kiambethu Tea Farm on a misty day, which lent the plantation a sense of ethereal beauty. We began the tour with hot tea and biscuits as Fiona, the lady giving us the tour, walked us through the processing of tea and the different parts of the tea plant. My friend and I then wandered the beautiful garden infront before being served a lovely lunch. The trip was relaxing. I would recommend it to anyone.
