Gatura Greens first stop in Kenya!
Our guide booked this for us we flew into Nairobi that morning slept for a few hours and then made our way to Gatura Greens. We met Paula whom was our guide for the day and we had an amazing experience! We learned a lot about teas and walked through the fields picked leaves and brought them back to process. We were served breakfast and lunch and being vegan the chef was awesome and made vegan dishes which were delightful! Paula also too us to a waterfall after lunch and this was an added experience I wasn’t expecting. Please visit Gatura Greens it’s worth the trip!

The purple tea experience in Gatura Green farming estate was a real treat
THE PURPLE TEA EXPERIENCE I am awed by the candid and warm welcome when we arrived at Gatura Green farm in Muranga County, Kenya this morning. The beautifully manicured gardens at the estate were a welcome comfort from the bustling city of Nairobi. Lucy and the team invited us to enjoy some lovely warm scones before we were off to pluck fresh tea leave off the farm and trek down to the waterfalls. The food, ambience, and whole hiking experience was amazing. Francis the chef is the most enthusiastic chef I have met for a while. Don't miss it!!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gatura Greens Purple Tea Farm Private Tour From Nairobi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Gatura Greens Purple Tea Farm Private Tour From Nairobi cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Gatura Greens Purple Tea Farm Private Tour From Nairobi take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is Gatura Greens Purple Tea Farm Private Tour From Nairobi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gatura Greens Purple Tea Farm Private Tour From Nairobi?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Gatura Greens Purple Tea Farm Private Tour From Nairobi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gatura Greens Purple Tea Farm Private Tour From Nairobi?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gatura Greens Purple Tea Farm Private Tour From Nairobi start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
