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.

Tim was my driver and guide. As most Kenyans, he was very social able, warm, and hospitable. He made sure to educate me on Kenya and the different parts of town we rode through. He went above and beyond to make sure I could make a few stops.You won't regret booking. The tea farm was everything I imagined and more. Don't miss it!!!

Alex our driver was professional and knowledgeable. On the drive to the tea estate he provided insights on Kenya’s tourist spots as well as Kenyan history. He was an extremely safe driver and the trip was enjoyable. The tour at the tea plantation was informative. It was an opportunity to see first hand how tea is grown and understand the process to turn leaves into tea. A delicious farm to table lunch ended the tour. Spectacular grounds. Tip: wear sensible walking shoes and be prepared for cooler temperatures. Highly enjoyable.

Obed was an amazing driver and guide to and from the tea farm. He was punctual, very pleasant and was very knowledgeable and we had great conversations. The Tea Farm was amazing, the luncheon was fantastic. I would definitely recommend doing this day trip and you will be especially lucky if you get Obed as your driver.
