Nanyuki sits almost exactly on the equator, with Mount Kenya’s jagged peaks rising directly behind it — but what draws serious wildlife travelers here isn’t the scenery alone, it’s the conservation work happening on its doorstep. This is rhino country, chimpanzee-sanctuary country, and community-conservancy country, and Nanyuki Excursions are best built around understanding that work rather than just photographing its results.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy is home to the last two northern white rhinos left on Earth, alongside a thriving population of critically endangered black rhino, protected by community-led anti-poaching teams.
A rhino sanctuary run in partnership with local communities, offering close, guided encounters with animals under active protection.
A rescue and rehabilitation sanctuary for chimpanzees orphaned by the illegal pet and bushmeat trade, run in cooperation with the Jane Goodall Institute.
A UNESCO-listed conservancy credited with helping rebuild Kenya’s black rhino population from near collapse over the past few decades.
For travelers wanting altitude alongside the conservancies, the Mount Kenya trekking excursion and a stop at Ngare Ndare Forest round out a day that moves from savannah conservancy to montane forest in a single private vehicle.
