Location: Nanyuki. Information about hotels.

There are several places to stay in Nanyuki, some right in town, others a bit further out. We have come up with a selection for you to choose from - please contact us if you need help. If you have no luck contacting the hotel directly, you could send an email to Daphne (daphne@muthaiga-fv.co.ke) and ask her to make a booking on your behalf.
This is probably the most luxurious option. Please bear in mind that it takes about 30 minutes by car to get from the Mount Kenya Safari Club to the wedding venue.

This is a nice and relatively simple option for accommodation - some of the rondavel style bedrooms have two double beds, so you have the option of sharing a cozy quadruple with your friends. This camp is just outside town and it takes only 15 minutes by car to get to the wedding venue.


Nanyuki Sports Club
This club is for private members only, so if you wish to stay here, please contact us and we can make a reservation for you. In case you happen to be a member of another club, the Nanyuki Sport Club reciprocates with the Nairobi Club, the Aero Club and the Rift Valley Sports Club among others. Distance to the wedding venue is only about 5 minutes by car.

Nanyuki is a small town northwest of Mount Kenya. It is the capital of Laikipia County and situated barely just north of the Equator. If you are coming from abroad, you need to fly into Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, and then make your way from Nairobi to Nanyuki.

Nairobi to Nanyuki by road


At the moment there are several construction sites along the A2 (Thika Road) so it may take up to four hours to reach Nanyuki. The road is pretty good and it is possible to do the journey with a saloon car, so not a must to have a 4WD. 


Most likely there will be several people driving to Nanyuki either on Friday 14th in the afternoon or morning of Saturday 15th October, and returning to Nairobi on 16th. Please send an email to let us know a) whether there is space in your car b) whether you need a lift as it would be nice to organize a bit of car sharing where possible and for those willing.
