Nyeri

Nyeri sits between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range at an elevation of 1,570 meters, experiencing consistent cool temperatures throughout the year.

The British established Nyeri as a colonial administrative post in 1902, which later became a key location during the Mau Mau resistance movement.

The final resting place of Scout movement founder Robert Baden-Powell and Kenya's first president Jomo Kenyatta reflects the town's historical importance.

The town connects to Nairobi through multiple daily bus services and features several markets where local farmers sell fresh produce and traditional crafts.

Nyeri's location between two major mountains creates specific microclimates that enable both tea and coffee cultivation at different elevations.
