A perfectly organized trip

We are very satisfied with the organization by Swiss Side of our stay in Iten and in the Nakuru region, then in Nairobi. Everything was perfectly organized, from the logistics upon our arrival and departure to the flow of the excursions, especially the day at Nandi Hills. We also really appreciated our driver, who was professional, friendly, and attentive. A wonderful experience that we recommend without hesitation!

Memorable mornings and afternoons in the shade of tea trees: Nandi Hills..

Educational experience in the natural beauty. The Agro Tourism Tea Workshop in Nandi Hills was one of the highlights of my trip! The natural beauty of Nandi Hills, the serene environment, and the hospitality of the locals have captivated. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and explained everything beautifully. All in all, it was a dreamy day. In this one-day program, I got a chance to see the entire process of tea making with my own eyes-from collecting the tea leaves to weighing them...read more

Moment of pure pleasure

Between the safari, Lake Baringo, the tea experience was the best for me. In one day, this activity takes you to Kenyan lands with a “culinary” adventure that I like. I am a fan of chai/Kenyan tea and having the chance to understand and see the process of this drink by visiting the plantations and the factory is just amazing. I recommend this activity

Unforgettable experience with The Swiss Side

The Swiss Side organized for us a diversity of activities, including a 4-day safari, a Tea Workshop, bike rides and beautiful hikes, and other visits. They were extremely attentive to every detail in order to make this a memorable experience, and were very flexible to tailor the program to our particular wants and desires. We warmly recommend The Swiss Side, whatever activities and sites you want to explore in Kenya they will organize it for you.
