Kiambethu Farm And Paradise Lost Farm Experience
Nairobi
Photo coming soon
Two iconic Limuru and Kiambu farms, tea history, forest walks, caves, and coffee.
This full-day experience takes you to two of Kenya's most characterful farm destinations. Kiambethu Farm at Limuru offers a tranquil insight into life on a settler farm. Situated at 7,200 ft., Kiambethu was bought and farmed by AB McDonnell in 1910. He was a pioneer in the tea industry, one of the first to make and sell tea commercially in Kenya, now one of the country's largest exports. A walk through the indigenous forest on the estate is one of the highlights of any visit. Paradise Lost is located in Kiambu, approximately 14 kilometres from Nairobi. Situated on a working coffee farm, its main tourist attraction is the spectacular cave system on the property. Visitors can also tour the coffee processing plant and follow the journey of the All Seasons brand of coffee from the farm through roasting and packaging.
