Come and enjoy a lunch time tour of the farm with Fiona... Arrive at 11am and over a cup of tea or coffee the history of the farm and process of making tea is informally explained, followed by an opportunity to see tea in the field. Then take a walk in the indigenous forest with our resident Kenyan guide who will identify the plants and explain how they are traditionally used. Look out for the Colobus monkeys close up and wander in the Gardens which are home to a wide variety of birds and flowers. Return to the house to enjoy a pre-lunch drink on the verandah with sweeping views across the tea fields to the Ngong Hills. Enjoy your three course buffet lunch from our set menu prepared with vegetables from the garden and desserts are topped with cream from our herd of Channel Island cows. Advance booking is essential, cost is Kshs.3,300 per person all inclusive, children under 12 are half price.

What a wonderful experience to see such a beautiful farm and spend some time with the owner, the third generation of farmers on the land. She is well versed on her presentations and makes you feel welcome in her home. Informative presentation and then a delicious lunch on white table clothes on the lawn. A true treasure and much enjoyed by all.

Kawamwaki Farm is in a beautiful rural area north of Nairobi, close enough for half-day or day trip. I went with a friend to ride horses in the hills, and it was a great experience - the horses were excellent, well-schooled and well-mannered; the guide, Gabriel, was an experienced competitive rider, and the farm is used for eventing and cross-country riding. We had a few exciting canters up the hills, and rode past a spectacular waterfall, through beautiful African landscapes, and though a functioning tea plantation - the post-colonial economy lives on, producing high quality tea for export. On Kawamwaki Farm there is also a very nice organic vegetable farm (there is a website if you are interested) and there are also opportunities for walking and birding; you can also visit nearby tea plantations if you are interested in the tea business. I found Kawamwaki really professional - well organised, with our guide Gabriel being very informative about the area, as well as being a true horseman. Highly recommended.

If you love cheese, Brown's Cheese Tasting Room is for you. We offer a unique foodie experience, just west of Nairobi. Brown's has been making cheese in Kenya for over 30 years, and we now invite guests to come to our facility to see how cheese is made, sample several varieties, and enjoy a delicious lunch sourced entirely from our organic garden. A typical visit to Brown's starts with a welcome drink and snack, followed by a cheesemaking demonstration by your host. This is followed by a tour of our production facility, with the highlight visiting one of our cheese caves, and seeing thousands of cheese maturing using traditional methods. After the tour, we sit down for our cheese tasting. We know that traditionally the cheese course is served after the meal, but we're cheese people and believe it is best enjoyed with a blank palette and an empty stomach! We taste 8-10 of our handcrafted cheeses, along with homemade crackers, breads, chutneys, plus our carefully selected house wines. We finish with a seasonal light lunch, typically consisting of soups, salads, and flatbreads, followed by dessert and coffee. Kids will love exploring the garden and animals, and even milking a cow. Our tasting room is open Thursday, Fridays, and Saturdays, but Reservations are strictly required. Plan ahead, as Saturdays can be booked many weeks in advance. We look forward to introducing you to the wide variety of delicious cheeses crafted by Brown's.

This was a simply fantastic experience based around visiting the small factory farm to see how cheeses such as Cheddar, Gouda and Parmesan are made and stored.
Followed by a generous lunch tasting various cheeses with tasting notes and supporting jams and relish. Good white and red wine also accompany the lunch which then includes a main course and the Browns farm organic ice cream.
You need to be there for noon and we left at 4pm and that's because we had something else to get to.
The surroundings are very relaxing and the explanations and service was truly very good making this a solid recommend experience.
