Dag 4: Twin River Resort en Pumbaa Farmhouse & Cottages

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

In English times there were many tea plantations near Nairobi. The climate is pleasant;nice and warm but not hot, due to the altitude of almost 2000 meters. We visit a tea plantation that is now mainly used to entertain and feed people. The area is very beautiful: green, hilly and small-scale. Fortunately, a highway to the north had recently been built, so the ride only took half an hour instead of more than two hours.
