Area Attractions

Kiambethu Tea Farm

Glimpse into the ‘living history’ of Kenya’s tea industry when you visit Kiambethu Tea Farm. Begin the tour with tea inside a colonial mansion where you can learn about the process of making tea. Next, follow a local historian through an indigenous forest while he explains the important role of plants in traditional Kikuyu culture. To conclude this charming visit, enjoy a three-course meal on a beautiful lawn overlooking the Ngong Hills.

Gatamaiyu Forest

Gatamaiyu Forest is situated about an hour away from Brackenhurst. It is one of the last ancient indigenous forests in Central Kenya. Elephants, leopards, and other rare wildlife still roam the area, and there are several breathtaking waterfalls hidden in the depths of the forest. The hike is about three hours long and is moderately difficult during the rainy season.

Lake Naivasha and Crescent Island

The scenic drive between Brackenhurst and Lake Naivasha follows the Great Rift Valley Escarpment with stunning views of the landscape. Stop at a beautiful Catholic church built by Italian prisoners of war during World War II. Upon arrival at Lake Naivasha, tour the lake by boat on the way to Crescent Island, a filming location for the famous movie Out of Africa. Hike around the island on foot and encounter giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and gazelles.

Mlango Farm

Tour an extensive farm and private art gallery that exhibits the work of Kenyan artists. Harvest your own vegetables and enjoy a fresh, homemade lunch that is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Mlango Farm usually has an artist in residence and offers workshops in addition to the farm tour. This is a very child-friendly attraction!
