Location: Nanyuki. What to do and see.

Those of you who are coming from abroad may want to consider going on safari here in Kenya. It is not possible for us to organize your safari for you, but we would like to give you a few hints and tips. There are some very special places close to Nanyuki that you could visit.

Obviously there is Mt. Kenya and you could consider a hike to the peak if you're keen! Alternatively there is Meru National Park, or Samburu National Park, and Nanyuki is also an ideal base for exploring Laikipia.

With so many choices, it can be difficult to decide, but please keep in mind that it is not a good idea to rush around trying to visit as many places as possible. We would recommend that you spend at least two or three nights in each place.

Here are some examples, just to give you a rough idea:
