Kikuyu town, a municipality in Kiambu County, is only 20 minutes from Nairobi CBD and is accessible either through the Southern Bypass or Waiyaki Way.

Nachu Caves
Famously known as Ngurunga cia Njangiri (meaning Thugs Caves), Nachu Caves are located on Gatune Hills.
The caves are rocky and slippery.
The path to get here shifts from mud, bush, and shrubs to grazing fields as the Ngong hills come into clear view. This short and sweet adventure requires crawling on fours when descending with a touch of balance.
Goshen Restaurant
This restaurant is owned by missionaries who have preserved its original design. The wooden structure is decorated by indigenous timber beams that crisscross each other.
