Description
Step into the cool Limuru highlands for a journey through time at one of Kenya’s oldest tea estates, where five generations of heritage meet lush, verdant landscapes. Uncover the secrets of the 'perfect brew' before wandering through indigenous forests home to Colobus monkeys and enjoying a sun-drenched three-course garden lunch.
Begin with an informal talk on the farm’s history, dating back to 1910, and the tea-making process. Then, stroll through the tea fields and take a separate trek into a private indigenous forest with a local guide explaining traditional plant uses.
After your walk, enjoy a three-course buffet lunch prepared with garden-fresh vegetables and topped with cream from the farm's own Channel Island cows. Sip on unlimited freshly brewed Kenyan tea and coffee served on a veranda overlooking the Ngong Hills.
