Nanyuki, in Laikipia County, is the gateway to Mount Kenya and some of Kenya's finest wildlife country. Here are our favourite ways to spend your days — all within easy reach of Porini Nature Sanctuary in Mwereri.
01
Game drives at Ol Pejeta Conservancy
One of Kenya's best-known conservancies, close to Nanyuki. Look for rhino, elephant, lion and buffalo, and visit the chimpanzee sanctuary. We can arrange a guided day trip from Porini.
02
Walks and hikes toward Mount Kenya
Nanyuki sits at the foot of Mount Kenya, Africa's second-highest mountain. Choose an easy forest walk or a guided multi-day climb — ask us and we'll match the route to your fitness.
03
Stand on the equator
The equator runs right through Nanyuki town. Stop at the equator sign for a photo on the way in or out.
04
Honey farm and bee tours at Porini
Porini is An African Honey Trail. Walk among the hives, learn how bees protect the land and taste honey straight from the farm.
05
Ol Daiga Hills walks
Porini lies at the foothills of the Ol Daiga Hills. Morning and sunset walks bring wide views, birdlife and the cool highland air.
06

Farm-to-table dinners
End the day with organic food from the farm, served under the stars in our lit garden lounge.
