The area is characterized by its lush, sprawling tea plantations and remarkable greenery, offering picturesque views. Historically, Limuru holds a special place in Kenya's tea industry, as the first tea seedling in the country was planted here in 1903. The region's elevation, around 7,200 feet, contributes to its favorable climate for tea cultivation, allowing for year-round harvesting.Beyond commercial operations, the Limuru tea plantations are often associated with serene landscapes that include indigenous forests, which are home to wildlife such as the Colobus monkey. Visitors to the general Limuru tea area can engage in various activities, including learning about tea farming, tea picking, horse riding, and cycling, though these specific activities may not be offered directly by Limuru Tea PLC itself. The area also provides scenic drives with views extending towards the Ngong Hills.
