Kiburi Farm: A Lovely Place to Earth Your Spirit
True. The modern traveller is continually looking for intimate experiences in places where they are actively participating in the activities – outdoor. Becoming widely favoured, farm tours are cathing on with families and friends looking for especial and memorable getaways. In Kenya, tours to erstwhile tea and coffee green-gold giants are trending, at a time when these colonial legacies are waning gradually to a new wave of sought-after export produce. In happenstance, assimilating farm tours has been a godsend for them to shore up earning and diminishing farmland.
Among the early adopters of the farm tours in Kenya, away from the dazzling tea and coffee farms in the vicinity of Nairobi city, in Kiambu County, was Kiburi Farm more popular as Kiburi Homestay. Situated in the beautiful tea-growing area of Kimunye, at the foot-slopes of the Kamweti Forest in Central Kenya, Kiburi Farm has, for a centerpiece, an easy-on-the-eye Victorian-farmhouse raised in 1962. Originally built as a family home, it has been tendered and rendered, for years, room by room, wood panel to the next by love, laughter, and generational ties.
The central lounge is beautifully furnished with both old and new age pieces, in a homely and laid back style. Its a combination of other factors, too! If it’s about the highlands snuggly weather, mature farms around the house, a quiet and secluded bucolic setting, it is, in more ways, a delightful weekend getaway that guarantees a lovely farm stay. What’s more, around Kiburu House are sprawling and inviting gardens with winsome matures trees that provide deep shade and rural decorum.
The farm is the heart and soul of Kiburu House. A wonderland thriving with plenty of animals and plants that include their foremost acreage of coffee and tea. They belong to a local coffee growing consortium of Single Origin 100% Arabica coffee – supported by the cool montane climate and the volcanic soils. There are many natural springs, waterfalls, and beautiful sites to explore in the area. To roam as a local, the small town of Kimunye town is located just 5 minutes away. Other sites include Kimunye Tea Factory, Castle Forest Lodge and Kamweti Trail to Mt. Kenya.
Taking cognizance that Kenya is primarily agrarian, farm tours are a fantastic way to learn about the backbone of its economy, connect with nature, and gain insight into the operations of working farms. As diverse as they are unique, farm tours provide an experience and a deep connection to the land. It is great fun, too!
