On the way back to Nairobi from Masai Mara National Reserve, we put up a night at the St. Benedictine Monastery.
We reached the monastery at about 8 pm after a grilling 6 hours drive from Masai Mara.
The monastery situated at Limura, a tea growing region in Kenya, which is about 50 kms from Nairobi.
The monks of this monastery rely on agriculture and animals farming to support themselves, such as growing vegetables, tea, and animal farming.
After breakfast the next morning, Bro Sylvester led us in a tour of the monastery compound.
Later we went for a sightseeing of nearby big tea estates.

我们从马赛玛拉野生动物探险之旅后，到圣本笃修院住宿一晚。
从马赛玛拉到修院，大约6个小时的车程，非常的疲劳，抵步时已经是晚上8点了。修院坐落在一个叫Limura 种茶的地区，离开首都奈罗比大约50公里。
修院的修士们以务农来维持生活及费用。他们种茶、茶及饲养动物赚取收入。
隔天早上的早餐后，一位修士带领我们参观了修院的一周，包括菜园、茶园。过后我们往外去参观附近大型的茶园。一山又一山的茶树，马来西亚的金马伦与它相比，可真是小巫见大巫呢！
