Tour Details
Situated at 7,200 ft., Kiambethu was bought and farmed AB McDonell in 1910. He was a pioneer in the tea industry being one of the first to make and sell tea commercially in Kenya – now one of Kenya’s largest exports. Five generations have lived on the farm and it is currently run his granddaughter Fiona Vernon. The farm house is set within beautiful gardens surrounded acres of tea and indigenous forest – home to the Colobus monkey.
Pickup at your hotel at 9:45 am and start the drive to Limuru arriving at 11am and over a cup of tea or coffee the history of the farm and process of making tea is informally explained, followed an opportunity to see tea in the field.
Then take a walk in the indigenous forest with our resident Kenyan guide who will identify the plants and explain how they are traditionally used. Look out for the Colobus monkeys close up and wander in the gardens which are home to a wide variety of birds and flowers.
We offer daily tours starting at 11am.
