Set on the edge of a plain with long, panoramic views towards Mt Kenya and the Aberdare Range in the south'
Nyarara means 'cheetah' in Masai and the camp was given this name because cheetah are often seen in the area.
From this camp we walk out across large plains as well as mixed bush looking for herds of Common and Grevy’s zebra, Oryx and Grant’s gazelle and herds of Reticulated Giraffe which predominate on the large plains. In the mixed bush we find Dik Diks, Gerenuk, Impala and Lesser Kudu if we are lucky enough to see them.
Nyarara camp is a delight to the senses.
