Among the tea fields of the Tigoni-Limuru hills lies Brackenhurst International Conference Centre, 30 minutes northwest of Nairobi, Kenya.  Brackenhurst is a Christian retreat and conference centre known for the beauty of its grounds, the refreshingly cool climate, and first-class hospitality toward guests.

Brackenhurst International Conference Centre is nestled in among gentle, rolling green hills. It rests at almost 7500 feet (2286 metres) where the air is refreshing and cool.

It's your ideal get-away from the hustle and bustle of the city where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the country. The scenery is enchanting and the feeling eccentric as you stroll or drive through the tea fields that surround Brackenhurst. The locals in the area freely offer smiles and waves as they welcome newcomers to the community.

Enjoy a variety of wildlife.  Around 200 species of birds can be found in this area as well as several species of monkeys, such as the black and white Colobus and the Sykes’ monkeys – real treats for bird and animal lovers.

Oh, and Brackenhurst is only a 30 minute drive from where “the world drops off” at the Great Rift Valley, a must-see for visitors who have a few free hours.
