trizaq Says: Its was fun driving around the sweetwaters game reserve, Playing around with a friendly white Rhino. My sweetheart and I sat on it, and kissed edlessly! Then we drove to a chempazee zoo, had lots of fun there, like feeding them, playing with them etc. We were treated so...
Monkeys, and Maasai and Waterfalls.. Oh MY!
Osmun79 Says: Nanyuki is a tiny town you could easily drive through without stopping, but it's worth stopping if you know what to look for. Located just 2-3 miles past the big Catholic Cathedral is Thompson's Falls, a thundering and tall waterfall located in a lush tropical forest. For...
Maeve_81 Says: You have to stop to the equator sign (you can't miss it, just look at the dozens of shop nearby). If you pay Ksh 200 they'll show you how the water runs right on the equator, 20m to the north and 20m to the south.Yes, I know, very touristy...
Krumel Says: Chimpanzees are not native to Kenya. Their home is Central Africa where numbers of wild chimpanzees are steadily decreasing. As Kenya has the advantage of being more easily accessible and being visited by more tourists, the sanctuary was set up here with the help of Jane...
Krumel Says: Morani is a tame rhino that lives in Sweetwaters Rhino Reserve. Go to the visitor centre in the reserve and the trackers there will take you out to see him. He is very friendly and will let people touch him. You can read more about him in the travelogue.

Nanyuki River Camel Camp: Traditional camel experience
ocicat Says: Beautiful grounds, with a picnic area by the river. The traditional huts are very comfortable with a not-so-traditional mattress making for a good night's sleep. Dinner was absolutely delicious camel stew. We also did the camel ride the next morning which was very cool. The...
Krumel Says: We stayed at the reserve's research centre. There were two round huts (rondavels), separated into four single rooms each. Each room had a bed, a desk and chair, and some shelves. At night we could listen to the sounds of the wild and sometimes heard hyenas.I found the rooms...
Krumel Says: We spent a few very interesting hours in the Buccaneer in Nanyuki. We were the only white people in there, and were mostly girls. As soon as we showed up on the dancefloor the local male population closed in on us like sharks for the kill, and the two trackers that...
Nanyuki Spinners and Weavers: Handmade Woolly Stuff
Krumel Says: The Nanyuki Spinners and Weavers are a women's self-help initiative. They will give you a tour of their workshops where you can see how their products are made, starting from carding, spinning and colouring the wool to the making of carpets, wallhangings and other things....
Nanyuki Spinners & Weavers: Beautiful and for a good cause
Maeve_81 Says: Nanyuki Spinners & Weavers is a women's craft cooperative (sponsored by the British and Canadien government) who manufacture woollen carpets, shawls, ... I bought myself a heavy woollen shawl that costed Ksh 1800 = sooooo cheap!
Krumel Says: If you take the turn in Nanyuki for the Sweetwaters Game Reserve you will soon pass the entrance to a little workshop on the left hand side where you can watch how wood carvings are made. It's really amazing to see a giraffe slowly emerge from a block of wood. The wood that...
PeterVancouver Says: The small church on the banks of the Naromoru river on the Nyeri/Nanyuki highway, prides itself of having the express permission of Her Majesty to hung a replica of her Coat-of-Arms - "Hon Soit ut Mai Pense". The item was made in silk from a picture supplied by Westminister...
Krumel Says: A bit outside Nanyuki you can visit caves in which the Mau Mau rebels were hiding. They are very difficult to find (obviously, as they were a hiding place), and I would suggest you get a guide in Nanyuki. This way you will also have someone to tell you about the Mau Mau. The...
Krumel Says: Walking through the bush, knowing that it is one of these rare places where animals still have the right of way. People are just tolerated visitors, and only if they behave accordingly and respect the wildlife. Absolutely amazing feeling.
