Nanyuki town ; a beautiful Kenyan city ( with narration)
If there is a town in Kenya that reminds anyone of America’s wild west two centuries ago, it is Nanyuki.
After a 45-minute drive from Marua junction in Nyeri, the landscape begins to change.
The lush greenery slowly gives way to dry land vegetation like cactus. As you approach Nanyuki, the land becomes flat. It springs to life again with indigenous plants past Naro Moru town.
Nanyuki is a resort town that opens up to the greater Laikipia areas, famed for wildlife conservancies. It is a dusty town that deceptively appears sleepy.
Walking around the town, you will not fail to notice women with faces discoloured by wind-burn. This is due to the cold leeward wind that blows at night after a hot day. The wind blows from Mt Kenya to the Aberdare ranges in Nyandarua. You will therefore be surprised at how chilly it gets immediately the sun goes down.
