Mt. Kenya / Nanyuki Christmas Getaways & Staycations

Two nights in Nanyuki over Christmas: highland forest, the equator crossing, and Mt. Kenya views at the most affordable rates of the year.

Nanyuki is a relaxed, affordable Christmas alternative to the coast or the Mara. The highland air is cool and clear, the Mt. Kenya views are good in December when cloud cover is lower, and the conservancies and lodges north of town are quiet over the Christmas period. This three-day getaway covers two nights at a lodge near Nanyuki with an equator crossing, a visit to the Ol Pejeta or Lewa conservancy, and highland walks.

Safari Highlights

• Cool highland air: a refreshing contrast to the warm December lowlands
• Equator crossing at the official marker on the Nanyuki road
• Ol Pejeta or Lewa game drive: rhino, elephant, and the Laikipia wildlife
• Mt. Kenya views from the highland plateau
• Short drive from Nairobi: an easy Christmas weekend getaway
