Nyeri
is the gateway to the Aberdares and Mount Kenya
Welcome to Nyeri
Highlands, Tea and Treetops
Nyeri is a highland town in central Kenya between the Aberdare Range and Mount Kenya. It is the base for Aberdare National Park, with its waterfalls and forest wildlife, and for the tree-hotel lodges Treetops and The Ark, as well as the tea and coffee country around the foothills. Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouts, is buried here.
We can add Nyeri and the Aberdares to a Mount Kenya or Laikipia route.
