Itinerary

Day 1 – Arrival & Tea Trails of Serenity

 

Leave the city bustle behind and ascend into the misty Tigoni highlands. Upon arrival at The Tea Pod, you’re welcomed with a steaming cup of freshly brewed Limuru tea — smooth, aromatic, and comforting. After check-in, take a stroll through the manicured tea fields, guided by local pickers who share stories of Kenya’s world-famous leaves. In the afternoon, unwind by your pod’s balcony, letting the silence of nature envelop you. Later, gather around the bonfire for a hearty dinner featuring farm-to-table meals and cozy conversations under a blanket of stars.
“Let the mist embrace you and the tea warm your soul — this is where peace is poured.”

Day 2 – Forest Whispers & Farewell Brews

 

Wake up early to birdsong and watch as the sunrise spills gold over the tea fields. After breakfast, enjoy a guided nature walk through the Limuru Forest or cycle along the scenic Tigoni trails. For the adventurous, a short trip to Kereita Forest offers zip-lining, canopy walks, and hidden waterfalls. Return to the pods for a relaxed brunch and one last cup of tea before checking out. As you leave, the scent of tea and the quiet of the hills linger in your memory — the kind of peace that travels home with you.
“You came for a getaway, but you found a rhythm — the gentle heartbeat of the highlands.”
