“This is where I'd unwind after scaling Mount Kenya: the open-air dining, alive with birdsong, draws you into the landscape. Thoughtfully designed rooms offer modern comforts, and the personalized service elevates the experience from simple lodging to a restorative retreat. It's an ideal base for both wildlife adventures and a taste of Nanyuki's charm.”
