This is a pleasant yet very small airstrip that is located next to Nyeri-Nanyuki road. There are lots of eateries around where you can enjoy as you see small aircraft taking landing and taking off. The food that is available here comes from surrounding rich agricultural hinterlands of Nyeri and other areas. You can't miss to have the local traditional food once you visit this area which is located roughly 2 hrs 30 min from Nairobi on road transport.

Most trips to the wilds of Africa are usually tales of delays, cancellations and low expectations from mainly ragtag charter companies operating from the smaller airports. Dealing with Tropic Air, I was very impressed with the professional and helpful information that I received.The aircraft was waiting for my passengers at the airport, and the friendly professional crew was helpful with their luggage and made them feel comfortable for their flight. The service overall was superb and the passengers arrived at their destination refreshed and on time. I would highly recommend them.

Last week, I was travelling in Kenya with my family consisting of 6 of us and we had occasion to charter Tropic Air's Cessna mini Caravan to fly from Nairobi to Nanyuki and back. Both the flights were enjoyable, comfortable and very reasonably priced. The crew were courteous and welcoming. I intend using Tropic Air again during my next trip to East Africa next summer. A highly recommended outfit.
