Nanyuki
Nanyuki is the crossroads to many of East Africa's most beautiful and wild areas, sitting as it does in the heart of the country right under Mount Kenya and on the equator. Surrounded by vegetable and flower farms, it is the nearest shopping place for the upcountry, wheat growing, sheep rearing, polo playing Timau ranchers. The climate is brighter than Nairobi and the air clean and clear. There is a very useful cottage hospital; a Lunatic Lane where the last generation of white Kenyan eccentrics gathered; the Trout Tree restaurant; a Settlers Stores to provide all essentials plus local news; the British Army practices; an occasional opera performs; Nanyuki Club provides a 9 hole golf course
and is the venue for the annual pony club spectacle, plus another event not to be missed - the East African Womens' League annual horticultural display Mukima is a 15 minute drive from Nanyuki. The house stands on a 350 acre triangle, which was once a cedar forest. Evidence of the age and size of the forest can be seen in the timbers of which the house is built. There are clear views of Mount Kenya and the Loldaiga Hills from all corners of the property. An electric fence, patrolled by a group of Samburu warriors, protect the land and its replanted forest of 20,000 hardwood trees from the cattle and goats that were overgrazing and causing erosion. Trails have been cut through the bush, which are s
