Discover the Rich Fishing Grounds of the Nanyuki Region

The Nanyuki reserve, and its surrounding areas, is a haven for anglers. Famous for its crystal-clear rivers and streams, it is a prime destination for fly fishing enthusiasts targeting various species, most notably rainbow trout and brown trout. These pristine waters, fed by the snowmelt from Mount Kenya, create an ideal environment for these cold-water fish. Imagine the thrill of casting your line into the fast-flowing waters of rivers like the Ewaso Nyiro or smaller tributaries, with the majestic Mount Kenya as your backdrop. Our guided fishing trips take you to carefully selected spots within the broader Nanyuki area and nearby conservancies, ensuring you experience the best of what the region has to offer in terms of both sport and scenery. The abundance of insect life also contributes to a vibrant ecosystem, promising rewarding catches.
