Mukima House Nanyuki, is a 15 minute drive from Nanyuki. The house stands on a 350 acre triangle, which was once a cedar forest. Evidence of the age and size of the forest can be seen in the timbers of which the house is built. There are clear views of Mount Kenya and the Loldaiga Hills from all corners of the property.

An electric fence, patrolled by a group of Samburu warriors, protects the land and its replanted forest of 20,000 hardwood trees from the cattle and goats that were overgrazing and causing erosion.

Mukima Estate has trails have been cut through the bush, which are safe to walk and enjoy the birds, plants and insects. A large dam in front of the house, fed by ground water from Mount Kenya, provides safe haven to many bird species, including egrets, ibis, storks, pelicans, various ducks and two breeding pairs of crested crane.

A small herd of impala and bushbuck are breeding on the farm, while tree hyrax provide the appropriate night noises and the guinea fowl are becoming tamer
