What sets the Kiambethu Tea Farm tour apart is its unique blend of history, nature, and hospitality in a tranquil highland setting. It’s not just a visit to a tea plantation—it’s an immersive experience on one of Kenya’s oldest tea farms, still run by the McDonell family who pioneered commercial tea growing in the country.
