Paradise lost
It is an attractive oasis in the middle of a coffee farm close to Kiambu Town, about 10km from Nairobi. When people visit Paradise lost, they cannot help resist to find the comparison between this concealed gem and the surrounding countryside. Perhaps the most well liked affinity at Paradise Lost is a labyrinth of caves eroded by the waters of the nearby Gichi stream, with their entry screened by a stunning waterfall. The caves at Paradise Lost are estimated to be 2.5 million years vintage, founded on obsidian rock artifacts from the late stone age that were found out. Artificial lighting has been established a couple of meters into the caves up to a large cavern inside. Vessel traveling and angling on the little lake at Paradise Lost are furthermore well liked activities, especially on weekends when most city dwellers like to visit.

Kiambethu Tea Farm Day Tour in Limuru
On your arrival at the Kiambethu Tea Estate, you will be guests for lunch and afternoon tea. The Kiambethu Estate is located at an altitude of 7000 feet above sea level, in a truly magnificent garden with views of the spectacular Mount Kilimanjaro and the Ngong hills and has lush acres of tea plantations that seem to vanish in the horizon.
Two English families, Mitchell & McDonnell in the early 1900’s, built the Estate. These families are said to be the first to have ventured into the tea business. You will also have a lecture on the area and about the production of tea. In the afternoon, a walk through the tea plantations and forests will display the conditions needed for the growth of tea.
The lecture on growth of tea is a good learning experience. For instance, you will see tea pickers on the farm plucking the top two leaves and bud from each plantation. Tea needs good rainfall, which is plenty in the region so tea is picked all year round.
After the tea is picked, they are sent to the factories to be processed and sold to local and export markets. Kenya is the third largest producer of tea after Sri Lanka and India. Return to the city arriving at 5.30pm
