Kenya 8 Days / 7 Nights — Nairobi to Nairobi Bike Tour

Kenya's vibrant capital and East Africa's largest city, Nairobi sits at 1,795 m above sea level in the Great Rift Valley highlands. It is the starting and finishing point of the Kenya bike adventure, offering world-class dining, the famous Nairobi National Park on the city's edge, the Giraffe Centre, Karen Blixen Museum, and buzzing Westlands nightlife. The city blends modern infrastructure with its rich colonial history and dynamic street culture.

A sparkling freshwater lake in the Great Rift Valley, 90 km north-west of Nairobi at 1,884 m altitude. Famous for its diverse birdlife (over 400 species), hippos, and surrounding flower farms. Hells Gate National Park, one of Kenya's few parks where visitors can cycle freely among wildlife, borders the southern shore. Boat trips at dusk reveal hippo pods and fish eagles diving at sunset.

Kenya's fourth-largest city, set in the Rift Valley 160 km north-west of Nairobi. Lake Nakuru National Park on its southern edge is world-famous for its flamingo flocks, white rhinos, and leopards. The city is a key agricultural hub surrounded by rolling farmland, and its fresh highland air and scenic escarpment views make it a favourite stop on the Rift Valley cycling circuit.

Kenya's fifth city and the undisputed "Home of Champions" — more Olympic and World Championship medals have been won by athletes from Eldoret and its Nandi Hills environs than almost anywhere on earth. At 2,100 m altitude the thin, crisp highland air has produced generations of elite distance runners. The city has a lively market scene, a warm community feel, and beautiful wheat and maize farmland stretching to the horizon.

One of Kenya's highest towns at 2,360 m, Nyahururu is famous for Thomson's Falls — a spectacular 74-metre waterfall named after Scottish explorer Joseph Thomson. The falls thunder into a forested gorge year-round and are surrounded by a small nature walk with colobus monkeys and forest birds. The town offers a cool escape from the lowland heat and serves as a key waypoint on the Kenya highlands cycling loop.

The forested slopes of Mount Kenya — Africa's second-highest peak at 5,199 m — are a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in biodiversity. Castle Forest Lodge, nestled within the Aberdare highlands at around 2,400 m, offers misty forest walks, colobus monkey sightings, and panoramic views of the mountain's twin peaks. The Lagoon Resort nearby sits on a quiet lake, providing a serene overnight after an epic day in the saddle.
