Nanyuki is a town in central Kenya. It's known as a gateway to Mount Kenya and the wilderness of Mount Kenya National Park. Several trails, including the Naro Moru and Sirimon routes, ascend the mountain. The park’s wildlife includes leopards, giant forest hogs and more than 100 bird species. Northwest of Nanyuki, the plains and hills of the vast Laikipia Plateau are home to lions, elephants and rare Grevy’s zebras. About 195 km from Nairobi Capital, this city is special in the sense that it sits directly on the equator and so here can one experience both the northern and southern hemisphere. It is a launch-pad for tours to the nearby Ol Pejeta in Laikipia & Solio Wildlife Conservancies, Aberdares National Park & a hike at Mount Kenya National Parks plus game drives at the famous northern Samburu National Reserve. The town is very modern, cosmopolitan and ultra-modern highly developed infra-structure. The Majestic Mt. Kenya gives the town a very picturesque backdrop during days of clear skies
