Doinyo Lessos Creameries: Since 1964
Launched in 1964 by Bryan Cuthbert, Doinyo Lessos Creameries, reputed as an internationally upheld cheese-maker, is one of Kenya’s oldest creameries. The family-run Doinyo Lessos has built a reputation for superior quality cheese and especially of its top-notch highland cheddar, which is part of a production line of twenty more varieties of cheeses, varied yogurts, ice creams and ghee. All their products are in every way engendered by hand. Callers to Doinyo Lessos should look forward to the cheese tasting, the factory trips, its retail shop, and a first-hand experience in the artistry of hand-making superlative dairies. It is located within reach of most roads in Eldoret town, at Nandi Park, off Harambee Road.
Taking cognizance that Kenya is primarily agrarian, farm tours are a fantastic way to learn about the backbone of its economy, connect with nature, and gain insight into the operations of working farms. As diverse as they are unique, farm tours provide an experience and a deep connection to the land. It is great fun, too!
