We are the title sponsor this year.

Day by day plan
- Step 1
Tell us the plan
Message us the headcount, preferred date, pickup point and your goal for the day. Mention fitness levels, ages and any staff who need a lighter option. We suggest a venue, a program and a price and we send a written quote. If your date is flexible, a weekday often gets a better rate and quieter trails.
- Step 2
Approve the program
We confirm the venue, book entry and catering and send a draft schedule. You share the team list so we can mix departments. A deposit holds the date. We send a joining note for staff with the start time, dress advice and what to carry, so nobody turns up in office shoes.
- Step 3
Play, walk and debrief
Staff meet at your office or the venue gate. Facilitators open with a short briefing and run team building activities Nairobi style in mixed teams. Lunch is served outdoors or at the venue. The day closes with prizes and a debrief that links the games to your work. The vehicles take the group home or to the office before evening traffic builds.

Why Team Building Activities Nairobi Beat a Long Retreat
A long retreat costs money and takes a day or two of leave. A one day program near the city takes one working day, saves hotel costs and brings everyone home the same evening.
Team building activities Nairobi suit companies with tight diaries, schools with limited budgets and clubs who want a regular rhythm. If your team wants a full weekend, see our team building packages and venues page, which covers Naivasha, Nanyuki and Kajiado retreats.
Team Building Activities Nairobi Prices by Venue
The table shows guide prices per person for a full day. For team building activities Nairobi, Karura Forest is the lowest, from KES 4,000 for 100 or more people. Kiambethu Tea Farm is the highest, because the private farm visit and catering cost more.
A group of 20 pays more per head than a group of 100, because transport and facilitator costs are shared. If your group is between sizes, tell us the exact number. We price 35 or 70 people in the same way.
Half day programs cost roughly 60 percent of the full day price. They suit a morning session before an afternoon of work. Prices are guide rates for 2026 and we confirm yours in writing.
Karura Forest: Waterfalls, Caves and Trails
Karura Forest sits between Gigiri, Muthaiga and Kiambu Road, about 15 to 25 minutes from the CBD off peak. It has wide trails, a waterfall, a bamboo grove and a historic cave. It is flat enough for almost every fitness level.
This is our choice for office teams who want a green day close to town. Activities include a guided nature walk, orienteering, relay races and a picnic lunch on the grass. Rain can make trails muddy from Mar to May and Oct to Nov, so we bring a wet weather plan.
Oloolua Forest, Ngong Hills and Karen
Oloolua Forest is in Karen, about 40 to 60 minutes from the CBD in traffic. It has shaded trails, a cave and quiet picnic spots. It suits smaller groups of 20 to 60 and gentle walks.
Ngong Hills are about 25 km southwest of the city, with a ridge of peaks and wide views over the Rift Valley and Nairobi. A guided hike is the main activity, followed by games on open ground. See our Ngong Hills hike page for route and difficulty. Team building activities Nairobi at Ngong Hills work well for fitness minded teams.
Kiambethu Tea Farm and Limuru
Limuru is about 40 km from Nairobi and cooler than the city, which makes it pleasant for a long day. Kiambethu is a historic tea farm with gardens, a house and walking trails. A tea tasting and a farm walk give the day a calm, social tone.
This venue suits leadership teams, boards and smaller groups who want conversation as much as games. Team building activities Nairobi here are slower and the debrief often feels more thoughtful. Book early, because the farm has limited capacity.
Ol Donyo Sabuk and the Machakos Side
Ol Donyo Sabuk is a hill and national park about 65 km northeast of Nairobi, near Thika. The summit sits above 2,100 metres, with views and wild buffalo and baboons on the slopes. A KWS entry fee applies and we include it in the price.
It is a longer drive, about 1.5 to 2 hours each way. It suits teams who want a proper hike and a sense of getting away. For a bigger climb, see our Mount Longonot hike.
Activities We Run on Team Building Activities Nairobi Days
We choose activities to match your goal. Communication goals need games that force listening. Trust goals need challenges where people rely on one another. Energy goals need fast, funny races.
Each activity runs for 30 to 45 minutes, with a short reset between rounds. Facilitators keep score lightly so that fun comes first.
- Orienteering and treasure hunts across the venue
- Tug of war and relay races
- Blindfold trust walks and mine field challenges
- Bridge and raft building with simple materials
- Forest or hill hikes with a guide
- Quiz rounds and team songs
- Photo scavenger hunts
- Creative challenges, such as building a team flag
A Timed Program You Can Copy
Most team building activities Nairobi days run from 8 am to 4 pm and keep travel short. Here is a sample for Karura Forest. Adapt the timing to your office hours and your group size.
A well paced team building activities Nairobi day finishes before rush hour, so staff reach home on time.
- 8:00 am: pickup at the office
- 9:00 am: welcome, rules and icebreakers
- 9:45 am: first challenge block
- 11:30 am: guided forest walk
- 1:00 pm: picnic lunch
- 2:00 pm: second challenge block
- 3:15 pm: debrief and prizes
- 4:00 pm: return trip
Matching Activities to Your Goal
Start with the result you want, then pick the activities. A team that argues needs different games from a team that is simply tired. Facilitators help you choose and team building activities Nairobi programs can be tuned in a short call.
Mix physical games with thinking tasks so that every person has a chance to lead. Keep scoring light and rotate team captains.
- Better communication: blindfold tasks, silent line ups, message relays
- Trust: trust walks, support challenges, group hikes
- Problem solving: bridge building, puzzles, treasure hunts
- Energy and morale: relays, tug of war, songs
- Leadership: rotating captains, planning tasks, debrief questions
Dress, Weather and What to Bring
Tell staff to wear closed shoes, light layers and a hat. Nairobi mornings are cool and afternoons are warm. Bring a rain jacket from Mar to May and from Oct to Nov. Limuru and Ngong Hills are cooler and windier than the city.
Carry water, sunscreen, a small bag and any personal medicine. Leave valuables at the office. For hikes, a walking stick is helpful but not required. Staff who cannot join the hike can still join the games and the debrief.
Food, Drinks and Dietary Needs
Lunch is part of the day. Typical menus include grilled meat, chicken, rice, vegetables and fruit, served outdoors or at the venue. We plan vegetarian, halal and allergy friendly options when you tell us in advance.
Water and soft drinks are available during activities. Alcohol is not included and is best kept for after the program. We ask your HR lead to send dietary needs a week before the date, so the venue can prepare.
Combine Team Building With a City Day
Some teams add a short tour to the program, such as a visit to Karen Blixen or a stop at a craft centre. Our Nairobi city and culture tour and Nairobi National Park half day tour show what is possible.
If visitors from another country join your team, a city stop gives them a taste of Nairobi before the games begin. More ideas sit on our Nairobi day trips page and a longer break fits our weekend getaways from Nairobi.

Questions people ask
How much do team building activities Nairobi cost per person?
One day packages run from KES 4,000 per person at Karura Forest for 100 or more people to KES 9,500 per person at Kiambethu for 20 people. Price falls as the group grows. We confirm every quote in writing.
What are the best venues for team building activities Nairobi?
Karura Forest for easy, central days. Ngong Hills for hikers. Oloolua Forest for small groups. Kiambethu Tea Farm for calm leadership days. Ol Donyo Sabuk for a longer hike and views. The best choice depends on group size and fitness.
How many people can join one day team building activities Nairobi?
Groups of 20 to 150 work well. Smaller groups of 10 to 19 are possible at a higher price per head. Very large groups need more facilitators and a bigger venue, which we plan in advance.
Is transport included in team building activities Nairobi packages?
Yes. Return transport from your office or a central pickup point is in the price. Larger groups travel by coach and smaller groups by van. If you prefer to drive yourselves, ask for a lower price without transport.
What if it rains on a team building activities Nairobi day?
We bring a wet weather plan. Forests and farms have covered spaces and facilitators swap to indoor or sheltered games. Heavy rain can turn trails slippery, so we avoid steep sections. Tell us if your date falls in a wet month.
Can we do a half day program?
Yes. A half day of about four hours costs roughly 60 percent of the full day price. It suits a morning session before lunch, or an afternoon event after a meeting. We confirm the price and the schedule.
Do you run team building activities Nairobi for schools and clubs?
Yes. Schools, sports clubs and community groups can use the same venues and prices, with activities matched to age and fitness. Tell us the ages and the goal. We adjust the program and plan safety accordingly.
