Nyeri is a historic town in central Kenya, nestled between the Aberdare Range and Mount Kenya. Its colonial past is evident in the architecture, including the iconic Outspan Hotel and the Nyeri War Cemetery, a beautifully maintained tribute to soldiers of World War I and II. The town serves as a base for safaris to Aberdare National Park and Mount Kenya treks. Visitors can explore local markets, enjoy coffee at roadside cafes, and soak in the cool highland climate.
