Highly recommend. A must visit!
Wow, this was an incredible experience. I am still in awe of how beautiful Gatura greens farm is. Everything from beginning to end was amazing. I was also happy to know that it is Kenyan and black owned. I almost did the popular Kiambethu tea farm but I am so glad I went with Gatura greens instead. The driver who picked me up, his name is Charles or Charlo by nick name. He was such a sweet and personable guy and he was just amazing. I felt totally safe and I totally enjoyed his company. We had great conversations on the rides to the tea farm and we also had an amazing time at the tea farm and also an amazing time coming back. The tea farm was absolutely spectacular. The views are incredible. I learned how to make purple tea from scratch, how to pick the tea, roast it and I will never see a teabag the same way again because this was really eye-opening to learn how the different types of teas from green tea to black tea, to purple tea, and all of types of teas are made and all of the benefits of drinking the them was just amazing. My guide at the tea farm was Lucy. Lucy is kenyan, and it was lovely learning tea from the perspective of someone who is a local. She was so sweet, so passionate about tea and just a bubbly and beautiful personality. I enjoyed doing the tour with her and I really enjoyed taking the bamboo hike into the bamboo forest and also to the waterfall and also the chef Francis is incredible. He is also Kenyan. He made the most delicious 4 course lunch I’ve ever had in my life and all of that is infused with the tea and everything was delicious. It was just amazing. The food is great, love it. Honestly, this is one of the best days I’ve ever had in terms of a tour experience in Kenya. Money well spent and I am so happy that I supported a Kenyan and black owned business. Make sure you go visit this Gatura farm. This is 10 out of 10. I recommend this tea farm.

Great Experience
Everything was great! Picked us up at the hotel on time, telling us about the area on the way was nice. Tour was very informative and great experience. Walking to the fall was fun and the lunch was delicious!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the tour, the walk to the falls, and the delicious lunch.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nairobi: Purple Tea Farm Tour With Tea Tasting Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Nairobi: Purple Tea Farm Tour With Tea Tasting Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Nairobi: Purple Tea Farm Tour With Tea Tasting Experience 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 Nairobi: Purple Tea Farm Tour With Tea Tasting Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 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 Nairobi: Purple Tea Farm Tour With Tea Tasting Experience?
+
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 Nairobi: Purple Tea Farm Tour With Tea Tasting Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nairobi: Purple Tea Farm Tour With Tea Tasting Experience?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nairobi: Purple Tea Farm Tour With Tea Tasting Experience 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.
