Nyeri
Nyeri combines the energy of a county town with cultivated highlands in a way that reflects its position between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range. This regional centre serves the surrounding farm country, where coffee and tea are important crops, while its streets and neighbourhoods occupy rolling ground on the slopes of Mount Kenya. The mountain rises to the east and the forested Aberdare Range lies west, framing a part of central Kenya long associated with Kikuyu communities. Nyeri is also linked to the final years of Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scout movement, who died here in 1941 and is buried at St Peter's Cemetery. The town gives a clear sense of the settled, agricultural side of Kenya's central highlands.

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.
