Nestled at the base of Mount Kenya and brushed by the equator, Nanyuki Airport is a scenic airstrip that connects the wild northern frontiers of Kenya with the bustling city life of Nairobi. It's the aviation gateway for travelers heading to luxury lodges, mountain expeditions, and world-class conservancies like Lewa, Ol Pejeta, and Borana. The altitude here is high, the air crisp, and the views? Absolutely breathtaking.

Planes landing here often carry adventurers, conservationists, and photographers ready to explore the Laikipia Plateau or hike up Mount Kenya. Regular flights are available through airlines like Safarilink and AirKenya, especially from Wilson Airport. The terminal is modest but functional, with a cozy café (Barney’s) that adds a warm, homey touch to the journey.

This airport isn’t about the frills—it’s about facilitating raw, authentic exploration. Charter flights are popular, and small aircraft are the norm. Be sure to confirm weight limits before packing, and arrange ground transfers in advance. Whether you’re flying in for a rhino-tracking safari or beginning a climb up Africa’s second-highest peak, Nanyuki Airport marks the start of unforgettable experiences.
