Food scene
Le Rustique Hotel
Mount Kenya RoadDelicious food, nice setting, in town.
We often stop here for lunch on our way to or from Nanyuki - the restaurant is set in a huge fig tree with the trout 'pools' at the bottom - there is a little playground. The food menu is limited and service not that fast, but if you're not in a hurry it's a great place to stop.

With a bi-weekly Sunday curry lunch - this is a popular lunch spot. It's open for lunch and evening drinks during the week too.

Good for children
About 5 minutes out of town (away from the house), this is somewhere to take the children if you are in the area for a while and looking for things to do.

This is a little way away from Nanyuki but a really lovely day trip - a lovely forest with a super canopy walk through the trees. http://www.ngarendare.org/
