Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy Animal Orphanage

A great place to visit near Nanyuki, Kenya, is the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy Animal Orphanage located at the Mount Kenya Safari Cub.

It makes up for its small size by providing true interaction with the animals. Each visitor is provided with their own wildlife management guide. The guide is able to answer all your questions & helps you interact safely with a few animals.

Up Close & Personal with Llamas, Monkeys, Ostriches, & Turtles

Animals to see here include: bongos, cheetahs, elands, hyenas, & lions to name just a few.

Many animals love the guides & come very close to the wire cage.

Back in Nanyuki

After 3 wonderful days at the Women’s Center at the Twala Tenebo Cultural Manyatta near Il Poles, we are back in Nanyuki.

At the MEET Girls’ Mentor Retreat, we met all 14 girls who are currently in school & 8 girls who have graduated.

3 MEET graduates are in trade schools learning to become a wildlife tour guide, caterer & plumber.

And, this year, 3 MEET graduates are starting college!

These girls & young ladies are amazing people who show strong determination to do well in school & find work to support their families.
