NANYUKI· KENYA

Nanyuki is where adventure and elegance meet at the foot of Mount Kenya. It's the starting point for serious mountaineers tackling the mountain's less-trafficked routes, but also a hub for unique wildlife encounters, from the endangered black rhino at Ol Pejeta Conservancy to the vibrant birdlife in the surrounding highlands. This is a town that blends colonial charm with modern cool, offering a perfect base for authentic, high-altitude exploration and a vibrant ex-pat community.
