Experience a wonderful day out in the tea farms of Kiambethu. Excellent vegetarian lunch and delicious homemade eggless icecream. The walk in the forest is lovely. This is a perfect getaway outside of Nairobi. About 45-60 minutes from the Westlands area it is situated in the highlands where tea farming is common. It's a tea farm too. The proprietor invites you into their home, shares about the tea farming process, sends you on a farm tour and then welcomes you back with a fresh lunch made from ingredients locally farmed.

The tour start by picking you from your Nairobi Hotel or residence 9:30AM 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 by an opportunity to see tea in the field. The gardens around the home are lovely and well worth a stroll, especially to catch glimpses of the resident colobus monkeys! Also included in the tour is a walk through the indigenous forest that is still preserved. The guide is highly entertaining and comical!
