Highlights
Located just a short drive from Nairobi in Limuru, the farm was established in 1910 by AB McDonell, the first person to commercially grow, make, and sell tea in Kenya. Instead of a sterile corporate tour, guests experience a deeply personal narrative told over tea and coffee in a charming, historic farmhouse surrounded by lush, rolling hills. The experience beautifully bridges the gap between old-world heritage and modern sustainable farming, making it a peaceful, educational sensory escape that feels worlds away from the city's hustle.

Itinerary
The day begins with a convenient morning pickup from Nairobi, followed by a warm reception at the farmhouse with a cup of fresh tea or coffee while listening to the farm's fascinating history. A guide will then lead them on a sensory walk through the tea shambas to demonstrate how tea leaves are hand-picked, followed by a guided stroll through the adjacent indigenous forest to spot wild Colobus monkeys and learn about traditional medicinal plants. The experience culminates back at the cottage, where clients will enjoy a delicious, three-course buffet lunch made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, complemented by drinks and estate wines before their return drive.

About Nairobi
Nairobi is Kenya's energetic capital and the starting point for East African safari, with a national park where wildlife roams beneath the city skyline.
Nairobi National Park lies just beyond the suburbs, and its lions, rhinos, giraffes and buffalo can be seen with skyscrapers on the horizon. Close by, an orphanage raises young elephants rescued from across Kenya, and the Giraffe Centre lets visitors meet rare Rothschild's giraffes eye to eye from a raised platform.
