Home Base
Nairobi
Nairobi County, Kenya
Nairobi is Kenya's capital and the great connecting point for Journeys across the country. It is a Home Base for discovering the city's own neighbourhoods, history, markets, green spaces and local knowledge, but it is also where roads begin toward the central highlands, the Great Rift Valley and the coast. The routes to Nanyuki, Naivasha and Mombasa show how quickly the landscape changes once the city falls behind.

The Road to Nakuru

The Road to Nanyuki
Nanyuki does not begin when you reach town. The journey starts as Nairobi falls behind and the A2 carries you north through the Central Highlands. Towns give way to farms and broad country. Somewhere beyond Karatina, Mt. Kenya begins to announce itself on the horizon. Continue north through Naro Moru, cross the Equator, and the road finally delivers you to Nanyuki — a highland town beneath Africa’s second-highest mountain and a gateway to the country beyond.
The Road to Nyeri
