Kiambethu Tea Farm — Attraction in Limuru East ward

We had the most amazing experience at Kiambethu . The visit to this tea estate was the highlight of our trip . It was a perfect day . Sunny and clear .

The drive to Kiambethu is amazing. Absolutely pristine. It’s very close to Nairobi and within 45 mins from city centre one can get here . Once there you’re in the lap of nature .

Fiona who’s the 3rd generation family member running this tour ( started in 1970) is really a bundle of energy. Her presence is lively and she’s full of knowledge and speaks with passion . She took us on a tour around her beautiful estate and answered all our questions . This place is one you have to experience as photos and words don’t do enough Justice.

Fiona and her daughter Sara are excellent hosts . They offered us tea and home made array of cookies . Lunch was super awesome with wines , drinks , soup , main course and delectable ice cream from farm fresh milk which comes from their own cattle .

Never realised how 3 hours passed . I strongly recommend this experience to one and all who is visiting Kenya . The 35 USD you spend is well worth every...

Love the tour the farm had. But DO NOT book this farm tour with a tour agency! Please read. The farm itself is amazing and gives a wonderful tour and look around the property along with an amazing lunch for $35. Highly recommend. The place was so chill and just a great way to spend a few hours from the city and the tea was cheap to buy! As to save money, what you should do is go on the farm website and book the tour yourself and then just Uber to the farm - it may seem a bit far depending on where you are in Nairobi, but could save you a lot of money. The tour agency essentially are just driving you there. They do nothing else. So if you're traveling with others or even just alone. Look to see how much an Uber would cost you and just book the farm tour yourself from the website. Maybe it might be a bit hard to get an Uber from the farm back into the city but I don't think so, or you could even ask some of the other drivers there from a tour agency to drop you...

My favorite thing to do in Nairobi! The owner Fiona weaves the story of her family and the Tea Plantation and the Tea Industry from 1910 right to the present day into a magical and wonderful story and day. We started by touring the farm and learning about the tea plants themselves. Then Fiona invites you into her family home to sip tea in the front parlor while she tells the story of tea making and the tea business in her own intimate and personal manner. And the tea was delicious as you might expect. We loved touring the forest with Steven and watching the tea leaves being harvested in the distance (the rolling hills more lush and green than Ireland). And after we dined leisurely on a wonderful lunch in the gardens which was managed perfectly by Joseph and his staff. The time flew by and we didn't want to leave. It was just the perfect day in the Kenyan...
