Tigoni 1

To all who savor tea and enjoy the pleasant aroma, this trail will offer you spectacular views of tea plantations including the Kiambethu Tea Farm which is among the country’s oldest, dating back to 1910. The beginning of the trail is a bit steep and slippery, especially during the rainy season but once that hurdle is passed, the rest of the hike is fairly flat.

Highlights  

• Tea farms
• Small waterfalls
