The tour starts by pick you from your Nairobi Hotel/Accommodation. Arrive Kiambethu Tea Estate 11am, 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! Lunch is a 3 course affair with complementary beverages, soft drinks and of course teas and coffee! Return to the city arriving at around 4:30pm.

Fresh Air, Tea Fields, and Highland Beauty
My experience at Kiambethu Tea & Coffee Plantation was peaceful, educational, and beautifully refreshing, offering a perfect half-day escape from the city into Kenya’s lush highlands. Experience: The guided tour was insightful, explaining the history of tea farming, the plantation process, and indigenous forest conservation. Walking through the tea fields and forest was relaxing, followed by a freshly prepared tea tasting and farm-to-table lunch. Admission fee: Reasonable and well worth it considering the guided tour, tea experience, and included meal. Length of visit: A half-day experience is ideal, lasting around 3–4 hours, giving enough time to explore, learn, and relax. Atmosphere: Calm, green, and serene with cool highland air and beautiful scenery all around. Crowd size: Small and well-managed groups, creating a personal and peaceful experience. Staff: Friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about tea farming and local history. Best for: Nature lovers, couples, families, and travelers looking for a relaxing cultural and agricultural experience near Nairobi.

Well worth the visit!
What a fabulous place and something I would highly recommend. Fiona was fantastic and a direct link to the start of tea production in Kenya. Very informative and welcoming from all the staff. Great food and drink!

Nature's answers
This was a fabulous experience. Verdant tea farms surrounding the farm. Loved the welcoming country home and a colonial feel. Loved the colourful umbrellas that meet your eye as you drive up into the farmhouse. Great reception, clean outdoor toilets and lawns that look evergreen. A forest tour made me re discover that nature has all the answers.

Into the Kenyan tea
Well worth a visit. About 45 minutes drive from Nairobi. Great talk from Fiona in the actual tea with a picker showing how to pick tea Then back to the house for a cup of tea (or coffee if you really prefer), then a walk in the forest to learn about trees and plants with medicinal properties and colobus monkeys Delicious lunch cooked with home grown products and divine homemade ice cream Good value for money

Best place to visit in Kenya
Best tour in Kenya! I couldn’t have a better moment in Naorobi. The place is beautiful, with a stunning view, gardens and birds that look like paradise. The family is very welcoming, gently and kind, and so the staff. The tea class is fantastic and guided by the most experienced person in the family. The service ir perfect. crockery, cutlery, napkins, all of the best quality. Perfect and artisanal food. from the snacks to the main course and dessert. To top it off, a fantastic tour of the medicinal herb forest guided by its guardian. Fantastic. I would go back a thousand times.

Kiambethu Tea Farm Tour & Lunch From Nairobi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Kiambethu Tea Farm Tour & Lunch From Nairobi cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 Kiambethu Tea Farm Tour & Lunch From Nairobi take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Kiambethu Tea Farm Tour & Lunch From Nairobi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 10 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 Kiambethu Tea Farm Tour & Lunch 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 Kiambethu Tea Farm Tour & Lunch From Nairobi suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Kiambethu Tea Farm Tour & Lunch From Nairobi?
+
Around 4 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kiambethu Tea Farm Tour & Lunch 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 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep, 1 Day trip to Hells Gate and optional Lake Naivasha From Nairobi, Nairobi Masai village Day Tour Experience. 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.
