4-star hotels in Nanyuki
Four-star stays in Nanyuki, the Laikipia market town at the foot of Mount Kenya, ranked by class and guest rating. Ratings, review counts and addresses come from the booking supplier's record; availability is checked live for your dates.
Staying in Nanyuki
Nanyuki is a market town in Laikipia County, close to the equator and at the foot of Mount Kenya. It is about 145 km north of Nairobi in a straight line, and Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a short drive away. People use the town to break a journey north, to reach the surrounding savannah and conservancies, or to spend time in the highlands.
The four-star stays on this list sit in different settings. Maiyan Luxury Resort, Muthu Warwick Mount Kenya Hotel Nanyuki, Ngomongo, Royal Strata House, Glamour Suites and the Rumuruti Road addresses are in or just off town; Olesamara Collection and Lifestyle Villas Nanyuki lie along the main road corridors, while Comfort Gardens Sweetwaters and the camps sit in conservancy land. That spread suits couples and short breaks as much as families and business travellers who want a base with a high guest score behind it.
