Nanyuki
Ole Naishu combines wooded Laikipia ranchland with the broad, settled character of Kenya’s central highlands in a way that reflects its position on the northwestern side of Mount Kenya. This part of Laikipia lies near the Equator, where the uplands extend from the mountain into a mosaic of ranches, farms and conservation areas. Nanyuki, the principal town nearby, developed in the early 20th century as a colonial-era settlement and remains a service centre for Mount Kenya and the wider Laikipia Plateau. Mount Kenya, Africa’s second-highest mountain, is the region’s defining physical reference, while the low ridges and woody cover around Ole Naishu provide a quieter counterpoint to the town.

The Laikipia Plateau defines much of Laikipia County – its open rangeland supports livestock keeping, ranching and conservation alongside farming in better-watered areas. South-east of the county, Mount Kenya rises above the plains, while the Ewaso Nyiro River is a vital watercourse for people, livestock and wildlife as it flows towards Kenya’s northern drylands. Nanyuki, on the foothills of Mount Kenya, is the county’s main urban centre and a practical base for the surrounding countryside. Protected areas including Lewa Wildlife Conservancy have made Laikipia important to Kenya’s rhino conservation. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Laikipia County.

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.
