Set on the edge of a plain with long, panoramic views toward Mt. Kenya and the Aberdare Range to the south, Nyarara Camp is aptly named after the Maasai word for "cheetah," as these magnificent animals are often seen in the area.
From this camp, we embark on walks across vast plains and mixed bushland, seeking herds of Common and Grevy’s zebra, oryx, Grant’s gazelle, and the predominant Reticulated Giraffe on the open plains. In the mixed bush, we might encounter Dik Diks, Gerenuk, Impala, and, with a bit of luck, Lesser Kudu.
The views south are towards the Abedare mountain range and Mt Kenya
