Family days and discovery experiences that combine play, creativity, nature, learning and Tafaria’s B-Brush & Friends world.
9 Articles
Tafaria is designed as a destination where families learn, play and create together.
Rather than separating education from leisure, every experience combines enjoyment with discovery.
That mix allows adults and children to share the same day without every part of it needing to be designed for one age group. A family can move from play to animals, stories, art or a meal and still feel that the experience belongs together.
The B-Brush & Friends Discovery Experience is the flagship family offering.
Children step into the real places that inspired the B-Brush & Friends universe, meeting life-sized characters and discovering how stories connect to nature, creativity and community.
The discovery format makes the property easier for children to read. Instead of moving through unrelated attractions, they can connect a character or story with a real location and then notice what is different when they encounter it themselves.
Children interact with statues of B-Brush, Podo, Shosh and other characters throughout Tafaria.
Each character represents important values: B-Brush promotes hygiene, Podo environmental responsibility through PodoSafi, Shosh wisdom and nature, Dr Kamenyi curiosity and artificial intelligence, while Jach, Malaika and Taji inspire adventure and imagination.
The characters are not interchangeable mascots; each has a distinct role in the wider learning world. Meeting them on the property gives children a physical reference point for ideas they may already know from the animated stories.
Hands-on creative experiences that let families make, experiment and see how art appears across Tafaria.
Creative family experiences at Tafaria are built around making rather than only looking. Children and adults can encounter painting, pottery, sculpture, digital work and other forms of applied art through the Center for the Arts.
A child who shapes clay, paints, designs or experiments with a new material understands the creative process differently from someone who only sees the finished result.
Tafaria also uses art across architecture, farming, storytelling and design, so a family arts experience can continue while walking through the wider property.
Children can feed rabbits, chickens and sheep, meet chicks and lambs, and learn responsible animal care at the Nano Farm.
The Nano Farm gives children a gentle introduction to caring for animals, connecting the excitement of feeding and meeting them with simple lessons about responsibility and agriculture.
Families can combine recreation with guided discovery. Horse riding, swimming, archery, mini golf and other games sit alongside the museum, herbarium, Nano Farm and arts experiences, so a family day can move between play and learning.
The estate offers swings, slides, a bouncing pillow, football, basketball, mini golf, archery, indoor swimming and extensive lawns where children can play safely under supervision.
Play at Tafaria is spread across the grounds, with active experiences that give families room to move, compete, laugh and spend time together.
For a smoother family visit, it helps to choose a small number of priority experiences rather than trying to do everything. A guided tour plus a few leisure activities usually gives children time to enjoy the setting without turning the day into a checklist.
Families explore the Evolution Science Museum, the Nano Herbarium and the Ten Plant Clans, discovering science, history, biodiversity and leadership through engaging experiences.
A family visit to Tafaria can move naturally between play and discovery, giving children a chance to learn through stories, animals, art, nature and hands-on activities.
Parents do not need to turn the visit into a lesson plan. Asking children what surprised them, what they would do differently or which place they want to explore next is often enough to keep the learning natural.
How characters, real locations and hands-on experiences make Tafaria feel like a story children can enter.
Tafaria becomes a living story for children when familiar places, animals and artworks are connected to the B-Brush & Friends characters and the adventures they know from the screen.
The Dream Carriage, Nano Farm, Nano Herbarium, castle and outdoor installations are not only things to look at. They can become starting points for conversations about nature, creativity, responsibility and the choices characters make in different episodes.
A child may remember a lesson more easily after meeting a character, feeding an animal, seeing a sculpture or standing in a place that appeared in a story. The value comes from linking imagination with something the child can see and do in the real world.
A relaxed way for families to combine activities, learning, food and time outdoors in one Central Highlands day trip.
Tafaria works well for a family day when different ages want different things from the same outing. The property combines active experiences such as horse riding, swimming, archery and mini golf with slower discovery through the Museum, Nano Herbarium, Nano Farm, arts spaces and castle grounds.
The Leisure Day Ticket is the more active option, while the Immersion Day Ticket focuses on guided discovery through the Once Upon a Dream tour, Museum, Nano Farm and Herbarium. Families can choose the format that best matches the group rather than trying to fit every Tafaria experience into one visit.
One or two main activities, a meal and time to explore usually make a better family day than a packed checklist. Younger children may enjoy the playground, Vikings Pillow, ponies or animal encounters, while older children and adults can add sport, archery, horse riding or the arts.
Tafaria is on the Nyeri–Nyahururu road, about 65 km from Nyeri and 39 km from Nyahururu. Families travelling from the wider Laikipia, Nyandarua and Mt Kenya region can use the same visit as a countryside day out without needing to move between several separate attractions.
