Nairobi til Kiambethu Tea Farm Tour

Our driver, Obed, was EXCEPTIONAL!! First, he was 15 minutes early for our departure. I appreciate his professionalism. As we journeyed to and from the the farm, he provided historical content of each neighborhood. The traffic got intense at times, however , Obed navigated the roads skillfully and with precision all while maintaining a cheerful disposition and a calm demeanor. His vehicle was well maintained and spacious. Fiona and Julius are Superstars! Each had a deep connection to the land and a genteel spirit which brought their rich stories about the land itself and the process of making tea to life. Fiona is descendant. Julius has been in the family's employ for almost 40 years. The respect they have for one another is admirable. A highlight was Julius' tour through the woods on the farm and his clear instruction of the medicinal trees. He is affectionately known as "the doctor " for these tours. The entire staff contributed to a spectacular fresh lunch. The home itself is a treasure. Its mantles are filled with photos of many distinguished visitors from former US presidents to British royalty. I highly endorse this trip and highly recommend Obed as driver.

It was an outstanding tour. The tea farm is beautiful and well kept. The host Ms. Fiona was very personable and the lunch was delicious and the staff was very friendly.

👉We visited 🤩Kiambethu Tea Farm 🤩 on Sunday, 1 February 2026, and the experience was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. 🫖 ☕️ This tour is not only beautiful, but also deeply educational and meaningful. Tea plays such an important role in Kenya’s 🇰🇪 history, economy and culture, and the way this was explained made the visit incredibly enriching. Learning about the tea-growing process, the heritage of Kiambethu Tea Farm and the craftsmanship behind every cup was fascinating and very well presented. The quality of the tea itself was outstanding — truly excellent, aromatic and refined. It was a pleasure to taste tea produced with such care and tradition. The lunch was equally perfect: delicious, beautifully presented and made even more special by the stunning setting overlooking the tea fields and surrounding nature. Everything was prepared and served with so much warmth and attention to detail. A special thank you goes to 🚕🤩Tim, our driver, who was wonderful — extremely professional, kind, punctual and attentive. From the smooth and comfortable drive to his friendly and calm presence, he contributed greatly to making the entire day relaxed and enjoyable. I would also like to thank all the staff at 🤩Kiambethu Tea Farm🤩 for their hospitality, professionalism and genuine kindness. You can truly feel the care and pride everyone puts into their work. I highly recommend the Kiambethu Tea Farm Tour to anyone visiting Nairobi. It is a perfect combination of culture, nature, knowledge and excellent service — an unforgettable experience.🙌🙏🤩

Obed was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I was able to learn a lot from him about Kenya which was fascinating. Safe driver, very punctual.

The best tea I’ve ever had and the best ice cream definitely do this if you wasn’t a relaxed day with good food and amazing tea

Our driver was Paul. He picked us up right on time. The tea farm was beautiful and tranquil. We really enjoyed our visit there. The grounds are beautifully manicured with abundant fresh flowers. We learned all about tea planting, growing, harvesting and drying. Then we had a very beautiful lunch made with farm fresh ingredients.

This tea farm tour just outside Nairobi was an absolute delight! I loved learning about the entire tea-making process — from picking the leaves to tasting the final brew. The hosts were warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. The walk through the indigenous forest was amazing, filled with herbal plants, local trees, and stories about their traditional uses. It felt like stepping into a living classroom surrounded by nature. The scenery was breathtaking, the pace relaxed, and the tea tasting and lunch were a perfect blend. A wonderful mix of education, nature, and tranquility — I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Nairobi!

The tour takes place in an absolutely beautiful setting with Fiona, who is an excellent storyteller, interesting, knowledgeable and welcoming to all. The food was nice in a wonderful garden and the tea tour was super interesting. Great experience over all.

I had been choosing between this tour and another activity in a national park and I was so glad I chose this. I realized I knew nothing about tea and so I learned so much and really enjoyed myself. I felt like the tour was very well thought out and organized. The grounds were beautiful and we received a lecture in the tea fields, along with seeing the different stages of the leaf and trying it of course. They had a tour around the land and showed us the different trees and landscape and the lunch was fantastic. Also I cannot forget to mention our driver Tim, he was awesome! He had so much knowledge on Kenya and made the drive there and back so enjoyable and answering all of my questions. I learned that Tim also does city tours and I’m so mad at myself for not inquiring about taking a tour with him because he was just so informative. Really loved our time!

Really interesting history, beautiful location especially the gardens at the house, and the tea fields themselves. Great lunch with very fresh vegetables grown in their garden and delicious homemade ice cream. Highly recommend!
