Nanyuki long weekend: Ol Pejeta, the equator & Fairmont
The best of Nanyuki in three days: rhinos and chimps at Ol Pejeta, a photo on the equator, the mountain bongo at the Mt Kenya orphanage, and a night at Fairmont if you want to spoil yourself.
Nanyuki is the easiest big trip from Nairobi. You leave after breakfast, and by lunchtime Mount Kenya is on the skyline. This weekend puts the best of the area together without rushing.
Day one is Ol Pejeta: game drives, the last two northern white rhinos and the chimpanzee sanctuary. Day two is slower — the equator, the Mt Kenya animal orphanage and its bongos, and an afternoon in the gardens. Choose a comfortable lodge or upgrade to Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club. Want more? Add a morning at the Wambugu Apples orchard on the way home.
