Kiambethu
Tea Farm Day Tour From Nairobi:Clients have
been going to this special "Mrs. Mitchall's
Tea Plantation" for over 20 years and 99%
have enjoyed the experience.
The Kiambethu tea farm is about an hours drive
away from the hustle and bustle from Nairobi
and as such makes a welcome day trip from the
capital for adults and children!
Situated twenty miles from Nairobi, Kiambethu
has been the family home of one of the earliest
tea growers in Kenya. The farm dates back
to 1910 and the present house, set amidst
colorful gardens, has been home to four generations.
You will arrive at 11:00 a.m. and over a cup
of tea or coffee the process of making tea
is informally explained, followed by an opportunity
to see tea in the field. You will take a walk
in indigenous forest with the resident Kenyan
guide who will identify the plants and
explain how they are traditionally used. You
will see the Colobus monkeys close
up and wander in the gardens, which are home
to a wide variety of birds. When you return
to the house, you will enjoy a pre-lunch
drink on the veranda with sweeping views
across the tea fields to the Ngong Hills.
Lunch is prepared with vegetables from
the garden and desserts are topped with cream
from the herd of Channel Island cows on the
farm.
KIAMBETHU TEA FARM (Half day) to Kiambethu
Tea Farm Nairobi; Kiambethu Tea Farm Nairobi
is about an hours drive away from the hustle
and bustle from Nairobi and as such makes
a welcome day or overnight tour. Kiambethu
Tea Farm Cottages are situated at 7200 feet
in a truly magnificent garden with views of
the spectacular Mount Kilimanjaro and the
Ngong hills. Kiambethu is a farmhouse to four
generations of the first family to plant and
make tea in Kenya
Kiambethu Tea Farm is one of Kenya's oldest
tea farms. It's a family run business run
by Marcus and Fiona Mitchell and it is possible
to arrange a 'tea luncheon' with them. You
can go, get a fabulous tour of the farm and
learn the history of tea making in Kenya as
well as of their farm and then get a home
cooked meal with tea to follow!
(Tour departs Nairobi at 10.00am).Daily
Tours start off at 11:00 am from the main
house. Marcus and Fiona welcome you with some
home made biscuits (yum!) and of course tea,
before regaling tales of the farm and the
tea making process
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 (most was cleared
for the tea farms). The guide is highly entertaining
and comical!
The tour ends with a relaxed lunch. Again
most of the produce is locally sourced and
when making reservations inform them of any
dietary requirements! The veggie options they
had made was fantastic. Lunch is a 3 course
affair with complementary beverages - wine,
beers, sherry, soft drinks and of course teas
and coffee!
