Nairobi, Kenya – June 21, 2025
A group of enthusiastic Ugandan agripreneurs, farmers, and agricultural enthusiasts returned home this week after an exciting and enriching four-day agricultural learning expedition across Kenya, organized by E7 Tours and Travel Ltd.
The tour, which ran from 17th to 21st June 2025, took participants on an intensive journey through some of Kenya’s most successful model farms, research stations, and agribusiness hubs. The experience offered a unique blend of education, cultural exchange, and business networking across the fertile landscapes of Eldoret, Nakuru, and Nairobi.
A Journey of Inspiration and Innovation
Setting off from Bulange Mengo in Kampala on the afternoon of June 17th, the group embarked on an overnight journey, arriving in Kenya early the next morning. Their first stop was Poa Place Resort in Eldoret—a tranquil base from which they launched into a series of highly insightful farm visits.
Participants were welcomed at Ngeno’s Farm, a model facility showcasing smart farming techniques and eco-friendly agricultural solutions. From there, the tour continued to Lelgut Dairy Farm, where attendees gained practical insights into dairy management, animal husbandry, and value chain integration.
“This is exactly what our young farmers need—real exposure to modern farming systems that are scalable and profitable,” said Sarah Nabunya, a young agripreneur from Wakiso. “The organization of the farms here is something to take back home.”
Exploring Kenya’s Agricultural Excellence
The third day saw the group delve deeper into Kenya’s agricultural excellence, visiting Sasumua Agriculture Farm and Pembeni Farm, both known for their sustainable farming methods and community-focused models. After a hearty lunch at Acacia Cottage, the group headed to Kenana Farm, famed for its combination of farming and women-led textile production.
Each stop was more than just a tour—it was a platform for exchange, where Ugandan farmers asked questions, took notes, and even discussed potential partnerships.
In the evening, participants retreated to the serene Kembu Cottages Campsite Farm in Nakuru, where bonfire conversations stretched late into the night, filled with ideas and dreams for the future of farming back home.
Learning from the Roots: Delamere’s Legacy
The final day featured a visit to the historic Lord Delamere’s Plant Breeding Station, a landmark in Kenya’s agricultural research history. Participants explored how selective breeding and seed innovation have transformed food security in East Africa.
After wrapping up the tour with a shopping experience in Nairobi City, the group departed for Kampala, tired but inspired, arriving early on the morning of June 21st.
Planting Seeds of Change Back Home
According to E7 Tours and Travel’s tour coordinator, the trip was part of a broader effort to encourage agribusiness development in Uganda through exposure and regional collaboration.
“Knowledge is best gained through experience. This tour gave our clients not only knowledge but also motivation to innovate, invest, and grow in agriculture,” he said.
Participants expressed gratitude to E7 Tours and Travel for the seamless planning, professional guidance, and educational value offered throughout the trip.
Plans are already underway for the next edition, with interest growing among local cooperatives, schools, and farmer groups.
