On the ridge above Kijabe

About an hour and a half from Nairobi on a good run. The last stretch climbs — take it slowly and you will be fine in any car.

Driving from Nairobi
  1. Take the A104 out through Uthiru and Kikuyu, heading for Naivasha.
  2. At the top of the escarpment, turn off at the Mai Mahiu viewpoint — the one with the curio stalls and the old Italian chapel signposted below.
  3. Follow the Kijabe road north for about 9km, past the hospital and the school.
  4. Turn right at the Rock Ridge Gardens sign and climb 1.2km of murram to the gate. Free parking inside.
Plus code 2JM3+53 Kijabe
Matatus from Nairobi run to Kijabe town; a boda from town to the gate is about KES 200.
