🌿 Overview

Just 40 minutes from Nairobi, the Horseback Riding Tour in Tigoni Tea Farms offers a peaceful escape into Limuru’s rolling countryside — a place where emerald-green tea plantations, quiet forests, and glimmering waterfalls come together in one breathtaking panorama. This experience combines horseback riding in Nairobi, Kenya, with the discovery of rural heritage, nature, and wildlife. It’s perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers searching for unique things to do around Nairobi that blend adventure, beauty, and relaxation.

🐴 The Horseback Riding Tour Experience

Your journey begins at the stables, where our friendly guides welcome you and match you with one of our six calm, well-trained horses. After a short safety briefing and helmet fitting, you’ll ease into the rhythm of your ride. The sound of hooves against soft earth setting the pace for your adventure.

The route begins through gently undulating tea farms, their vivid green rows stretching across the hills. Your guide will share stories about Kenya’s tea heritage — how Tigoni became one of the earliest tea-growing regions in the country, known for its fertile soil and cool climate. From the fields, the trail meanders toward a crystal-clear dam, where birds like herons and kingfishers nest along the banks. You’ll have a chance to pause and take in the still reflection of the sky on the water — a perfect moment for photos.

As you continue, the path narrows into Kawamwaki Forest, where dappled sunlight filters through tall trees. Here, the air is cooler, and you may spot colobus monkeys swinging between branches or hear forest birds singing overhead. The grand finale awaits at Tigoni’s twin waterfalls, hidden among ferns and mossy rocks. The sound of rushing water greets you before you see it — a truly spectacular end to your trail. Riders often dismount here to rest and enjoy the view before heading back along the ridge, where the tea fields glow golden in the late afternoon light.

By the time you return, you’ll have explored the very best of Limuru’s countryside, its landscapes, wildlife, and tranquility. All from the unique vantage point of horseback.
