About Nanyuki

"warning:Eno Ne Nanyuki,moisho wa reli,waagha koech'uga ogokinya moisho ta yo"

This is Nanyuki End of the Railway Train,If you don't take care you are gonna end up like it"

Nanyuki Town famously known as mwisho wa reli has a very long history .Maybe we would have to include Ka Johnie Kariuki in his famous song Nanyuki Mwisho wa reli where he vividly explains it all about Nanyuki and the reason why Nanyuki is called Mwisho wa reli is because the railway was intended to go up to Meru however when they reached the Nanyuki section Fun got the better part of the workers. Booze ,Fun and Women then all of a sudden the Map that was used to construct the railway got lost and that was it

411 about Nanyuki Town


The Town Nanyuki itself is 104 years old as of 2024. 1920 when it was officially gazette as a town and while in Nanyuki town at Nanyuki Stage next is Nanyuki park ,inside the park there is an emblem stating how old Nanyuki is .So much thoughts of what I really have to say about Nanyuki but I cannot get my head to be coherent since I lack words explaining this beautiful Land


Nanyuki is located in Laikipia county . Nanyuki Town can be accessed from the A2 highway that projects from Naromoru Town headed to Isiolo . Although Nanyuki can be said to be in Laikipia there is always a debate as to where Nanyuki lies .Does Nanyuki still belong to Nyeri county as the case for Kanyoni area in Nanyuki or does Nanyuki also belong to Meru county which is just next to Makutano.


Nanyuki Town is sandwiched between to great towns Naromoru from Nairobi and north is Isiolo town. Nanyuki Town is very extensive as the Town starts all the way from Ichuga after KPLC. If in Nanyuki at anytime you will definitely notice the tourism mood with lots of Landcruiser Tour vans at the car wash or mostly on the road ferrying whites with blacks as drivers or Tour guides very unfortunate.


Nanyuki Town is a very different town as compared to other towns like Nairobi as in Nanyuki Town most buildings you see are rental apartments with the face being businesses of the Landlords thus many people live in Nanyuki Town. Nanyuki covers an area of approximately 17 KM2 (1700 Hectares) with a population of approximately 72,800.


Burguret,Gathiuru,Gwakania Kania,Kamangura,Ichuga,Toll,Sweetwaters,Mongetho,Liki,Ruai,Muthaiga,Teachers and Makutano where majority of ladies in Nanyuki really prefer living are all neighbor hoods surrounding Nanyuki Town .Of course I cannot go without talking of the tallest building in Nanyuki which is Bemwaki Towers which is 12 storey building with a lift and very organized security .


According to a source is that majority of people working in Nanyuki who are employed formally work for the government . Apart from working for the government there is also a very huge number of non profit organizations in Nanyuki which offer employment .


The reason why Nanyuki is famous would be obviously because of the British who train at Nanyuki through BATUK commonly referred to as Johnnies. Though Nanyuki is famous for one other main thing which is Mount Kenya.


To access or climb Mount Kenya there are three famous routes there is the chogoria route in Meru The Teleki valley in Naromoru and Sirmon in Nanyuki therefore Mount Kenya makes Nanyuki more famous than Naromoru as its the base for climbing Mlima Kenya .


Nanyuki and Naivasha both pose a very great similarities as most whites also live in Naivasha. To access Naivashafrom Nanyuki you will have to go with a 4NTE sacco which traverses from Nanyuki Town stage to Naromoru all the way to Naivasha and Nakuru .


However nowadays the johnnies do not roam around Nanyuki like they used to due to cases of fighting as the johnies would be given a chance to come to town and Party however after series of conflicts with locals .Very rare you will see the johnies roam freely or even drink at Nyakio since they now have an inside bar at the camp.


Nanyuki town is a metropolitant town as the town has almost all tribes in Kenya and even different nationalities who flock the city each and every single day. The fact that Nanyuki town is closer to Laikipia ,Meru ,Nyeri and Samburu we can clearly state that most residents in Nanyuki would be Meru's, Kikuyu's and samburu people .
