Kip’s Eco Resort: Farming Above Nandi Hills

Formerly dubbed  Ketbarak Cottages , the 9-rooms Kip’s Eco-Resort, snuggled in the rolling countryside of Nandi Hills with pleasing panoramic vistas of the tea estates, is an accomplished dream by the Kip’s and Kipkurgat families to build a cozy and sustainable lodge that renders an authentic ‘Nandi’ experience. Kip’s Eco-Resort is unrelentingly eco-friendly. 100% of staff are from the community. 80% of their supplies are sourced locally and their cottages are built using only local material. Energy for the resort is 100% clean and renewable. What’s more, the adventures at  Kip’s Eco-Resort  are centered around wellness and nature, to include: tea-picking, walking to Ketbarak Viewpoint (0.5 kms away) and Nandi Hills (2 kms away). From here, visitors can tour Kapsimotwa Gardens, Koitalel Arap Samoei Museum, Morobi Hill and Karebe Gold Mines. It is found 3.6 kms from Nandi Hills along the Koitalel Samoei and Nandi Hills-Kapsimotwo Road.

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!
