Nyeri Attractions

Nyeri is a town located at the eastern base of the Aberdares Mountain Range. Nyeri was a garrison during the early colonial days but soon became a trading centre for white farmers who produced cattle, wheat and coffee.

Farming is the main industry with all types of vegetables cultivated in the lush surroundings. Sugar cane, citrus fruits, tea, coffee and bananas are also locally produced.

Local scenery includes Mt Kenya, which is visible on a clear day. The Wajee Nature Park lies just south of Nyeri. It is the burial place of Lord Robert Baden-Powell, a hero in the Boer War and best known as the founder of the Scouting movement.
