Nyeri
Nyeri lies along the eastern foothills of the Aberdare Range, a highland town set between the range and the slopes of Mount Kenya. It is the administrative centre of Nyeri County and an important urban hub in Kenya’s central highlands, where farms producing tea and coffee surround expanding residential areas. The town is strongly associated with the history of the Scout movement: Robert Baden-Powell, its founder, and his wife Olave are buried at St Peter’s Cemetery in Nyeri. Nyeri also sits within the traditional homeland of the Kikuyu people, whose language and customs remain central to the region’s identity. Roads and neighbourhoods follow the rolling ground rather than a rigid urban grid, giving the town a distinctly upland character.

The Great Rift Valley and the Indian Ocean coastline define much of Kenya — their contrasts support farming, fishing, trade and tourism. Nairobi is a major commercial centre in East Africa and home to Nairobi National Park, where wildlife moves close to the city. Maasai Mara National Reserve is known for the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra from Tanzania’s Serengeti. Near the equator rises Mount Kenya, the country’s highest mountain; its protected area is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Swahili culture is especially evident on the coast, including in Lamu Old Town, a UNESCO-listed settlement shaped by centuries of Indian Ocean trade.
