Nyeri is cold. That is what my colleague in Nyeri said when I told him I would be in his town towards the end of July. I was not going to Nyeri Town per se, but to Aberdare Country Club - 17 kilometres from the town - on the slope of Mweiga Hills in the Aberdare Highlands, and to The Ark, right inside the Aberdare National Park.
It was a three-day two-night affair, which started at the country club, with a late lunch, three hours after we left Nairobi.
