Return to the house to savor a pre-lunch drink on the verandah, taking in the breathtaking views across the tea fields to the Ngong Hills. Lunch is served around 1pm and features a delightful three-course buffet from our set menu, crafted with fresh vegetables from the garden, and desserts adorned with rich cream from our herd of Channel Island cows. At 1500hrs, embark on your journey back to Nairobi for a well-earned respite at your hotel.
Tour overview
Kiambethu Farm at Limuru offers a captivating glimpse into the vibrant life of a settler farm. Perched at an elevation of 7,200 ft. In 1910, AB Mc Donell acquired and began farming Kiambethu. He was a trailblazer in the tea industry, among the first to craft and market tea commercially in Kenya, which has now become one of the country's largest exports. Five generations have thrived on the farm. The farmhouse is nestled in stunning gardens, embraced by vast expanses of tea and native forest, where the Colobus monkey makes its home.
