Discover Kiambu County Spatial Location of Kiambu County in Kenya Brief Overview of Kiambu County The higher western region of the populous Kiambu County is covered, in almost equal parts, by farms and exotic forests, and a substantial part of the Aberdare Range which rises to near 4000 ms east of the Rift Valley. The A104 Mombasa-Uganda Road, traversing the elevated western half of Kiambu from Kikuyu to Kijabe, passes right through some of these forests. Its extreme western border skirts the steep fault-scarps of the Rift Valley Escarpment. The middle region of Kiambu carries a similar unveil of greenery where the invariable bright red soils support flourishing coffee, tea and dairy farms around Gachege, Githunguri, Limuru and Kikuyu. In the eastern region, as the land slopes to meet the lower-lying Machakos, is a marked diminution in greenery, with lesser hills, compared to the west. The eastern area is heavily settled and developed. A2 Cape to Cairo or Nairobi-Nanyuki Road travels across the eastern half from Githurai to Thika. Although Kiambu County has no official National Parks and Reserves, there is adventure – in abundance. Almost one fifth of Kiambu County (or 476.3 km2) is under forest cover. The upper highland zone in the area around Lari, which is an extension of the Aberdare Reserve, is dominated by highly dissected ranges. It is very wet, steep and cragged, yet, it is a cardinal water catchment resource. In general, Kiambu County has the largest correlative tree cover in Kenya. The latest spot for adventure-makers within these forests is the swashbuckling 2.2 kms zip-line over the Kereita Forest, which takes venturesome trippers flying high at speeds of about 60 kph over the variegated forest canopy. The 6 zip-line tour guarantees a sure devil-may-care punch of adrenaline with unprecedented views of the magnificently cited Kereita Forest for the self-assured speed junkie. The fact that Kiambu County is a peri-urban and dormitory region for Nairobi City means its infrastructure and its hospitality industry is go-great-guns and evolved. Kiambu Town, its capital, is surrounded by hilly Kikuyu farmland that are fast-growing under urbanization as Nairobi City expands and more people settle in neighbouring townships. Kiambu Town is seen as the future anchor to Nairobi that will, sooner or later, expend its limited space for growth. Currently, it has a 40% rural to 60% urban outlook. Likewise, Kiambu County is the entry point to Nairobi from every corner of Kenya, which it links to Nakuru, Kajiado, Machakos, Muranga and Nyeri Counties. For the golf-lovers, Kiambu County is famous as the golfing capital of Kenya, with no less than five acclaimed courses. Windsor Golf Club with Nairobi City in the background.

It is thought that the Wandorobo Tribe were the utmost inhabitants of Kiambu County. By the turn of the 19th century a wave of Kikuyu settlements were impinging on the south-end of the forested Aberdare Range, acquiring land from the Wandorobo and settling in great numbers. The arrival of European settlers is also by no means clear, but, by 1890 missionaries and traders had began passing through and settling in Kiambu. The inflection point in its history came in 1902 with the inception of the Crown Lands Ordinance, shifting land rights to the newcomers. Still and all, despite the attention which has been paid to the Kikuyu history during the colonial period, the intimational early years of their interaction with the British have been largely grossed over. Beyond the obvious well-known history of land alienation, pacification through raids and unsuccessful resistance by the Kikuyu, the period before 1890s, to the surprise of many, was one of mutually beneficial trade rather than of unending confrontations, with particularly good relationships around the Fort Smith area At Fort Smith, a pre-existing food trade between the Kikuyu food producers and passing Swahili caravans was rapidly expanded with the building of the Kenya-Uganda Railways. Perhaps the natives had an upper-hand in affairs at the time, or, it may be that, the transfer of administrative rights to the territory by the Imperial East African Company to the British Government in 1893 changed the holy-grail of the colonial government, upending the balance. What was certain is that by 1890 relations were standoffish, forcing the British to deploy limited military resources to Fort Smith. Henceforth the association became a mixture of collaboration and resistance. Those who lived along the Uganda route were unhappy about the British. They refused to supply grain to Fort Smith as well as to porters and traders along the road. The company officials were in the habit of raiding the countryside to force the native Agikuyu to supply food stuff such as grain and meat, so they send a military expedition to enforce obedience. And in 1892 the British send a punitive force which severely punished the local ruler, Waiyaki wa Hinga, who died at Kibwezi on his way to Mombasa Town for trial. In the end, the company had to abandon Fort Smith. As all this was going on, the northern Kikuyu, who were not yet in effective contact with the British until 1900, awaited a similar destiny. Punitive expeditions were sent against various sections of the Agikuyu, who, although aware of the imminent war, were gravely unprepared. In 1902, one such expedition was sent against the Muruka section of the Agikuyu. In 1904, the Iriani of Nyeri were attacked, many people killed, and their livestock captured. The collaborators among the Agikuyu were people like Kinyanjui wa Gathirimu, a famous porter later made headman in Dagoretti. Another collaborator, Karuri wa Gakuru, in the next-door district of Muranga, like Kinyanjui, started as a porter. With the help of John Boyes, a British trader, he helped to pacify the resisting Agikuyu of Muranga and Nyeri. Wang'ombe wa Ihura was another collaborator whose rise to prominence was his linkage with John Boyes. Land alienation in Kiambu, and elsewhere in Kenya, created a keen sense of loss among the locals and attempts by the government to remedy this, such as in the Kenya Land Commission of the 1930s, did very little to meet the problem of growing land shortage and the many issues to land ownership since.

  1. Limuru Gardens

The lay of the land in Limuru area – influenced by the Aberdare ranges – varies from steep in the extreme western region to undulating volcanic ranges as you go north. Limuru sits on the youngest lava flow, known as the Limuru Trachyte, resulting from the formation of the Great Rift Valley. The oldest lava flow forms the eastern plain where Industrial Area and JKIA are located. The next flow was the Nairobi Trachyte which terminates just northwest of the Nairobi City Centre and swings westward to form the heights on which Karen and Langata are sited. The composition of surface soils from volcanic ash and weathered rock coupled with the high altitude of about 2,500 metres (8,202 feet) and good rainfall gives the area around Limuru its surpassing fertility and natural beauty, especially of the pretty sight of tea farms. Limuru is also home to numerous gardens that are open to visitors to enjoy. Among these is Limuru Gardens along Nazareth Road in Limuru, just 1.7 km from the town. From here, it is easy to appreciate the higher elevation, dissected by valleys, and resulting greenery. It is obvious that their gardens have taken a lot of work and commitment, with plenty of charm and character, that you'll find relaxing. Neat lawns and herbaceous borders, on an idyllic plot overlooking a tea estate, is a shining example of how imaginative yet practical design can lift a place far above the ordinary. It is a fantastic place for families and groups, and you'll find plenty of space to run and jump around, walk through a maze of paved pathways and rest under shaded pergolas. Their bold, bright and airy palatial house offers visitors a stay that is both luxurious, homely and rural. With wooden floors, sumptuous, tactile furnishings it's just what you need for a weekend away from the city. You've probably heard Limuru is cold, temperatures sometimes dropping below 10 o C. Its true. The months of June to August are the coldest, but, for the most parts, the weather is pleasant; the wet season is overcast, the dry season is partly cloudy, and it is comfortable.

  1. Buxton Tunnel

At Karanje village 2.7 kms south of Limuru Town is one great oddments of the colonial railway building enterprise in Kenya. It drastically defies its landscape. Photogenic at both openings encapsulated in thick bush – regenerating around the entrances with vigour after the rains – but pitch black on the inside with a forbidding and spectral quirk, the 2 kms long Buxton Tunnel is impressive in scope and engineering. Even without the green leafy cover, it's haunting. Burrowing through the hilly area, at altitude of 1,795 m asl, it made way in a place that would otherwise be impassable, eliminating the need for winding through the hills. Even so, the idea of a tunnel-boring machine was still a decade from realization and would have been inconceivably expensive to work with here. Instead, crews turned to dynamite to help carve out the needed space to successfully cart the tunnel. Known locally as the "kimungu kia mbogi" (train tunnel) is arguably the longest tunnel on the old railway line. But with a total length of 4.5 km, the Ngong tunnel is, without doubt, the longest tunnel in Kenya and the dominant work in new Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) Phase 2A. The old Nairobi-Limuru Line was built in the 1940's as adjunct to the famed Kenya-Uganda Railways. Connecting Mombasa to the hinterland was a five year process for the colonial government, for which Kenya is indebted. Named for its ultimate destination, the line didn’t actually reach Uganda. Construction began in 1896 in the port city of Mombasa to its terminus on the eastern shore of Lake Victoria. On December 20th, 1901, Lord Salisbury, then British Prime Minister, received a telegram advising him that the rails of Uganda Railway had at last reached the shores of Lake Victoria. Buxton Tunnel is located 2.7 kms south of Limuru Town via Limuru Road, taking at turnoff at Methodist Church Karanje to Karanje Village. A word of caution is necessary: the dark nature of the tunnel has had incidences of insecurity and at times used as a foxhole by local gangs. It is advised to tour as a group or via organizational arrangement of hiking outfits.

  1. Brackenhurst Centre

There are two principal line of communication in Kiambu County, the A104 Nairobi-Uganda Road and A2 Nairobi-Nanyuki-Isiolo Road traversing the county along the outer flanks west and east, respectively.

It is also one of the oldest Churches in Kiambu County still in service. All Saint Limuru epitomizes the traditional Victorian architecture and it excellently preserves the baroque details and dainty designs of the day. The first recorded service at this site dates back to 1910, which was overseen by Reverend P. Bennet in the initial Church building – which was a little timber and iron erection on stilts.

The terrain around Kabete is a display of an abrupt beginning and ending of many unconnected valley depressions which indicate that the drainage is parallel and consequent on the south-east sloping surface. Steep scarpd get noticeable as you through Kiambu County westerly. Faulting in connexion with the formation of the Gregory Rift VaHey has dissected the terrain and is responsible for some spectacular scenery.

Built in 1888, ten years before the arrival of the famous lunatic line in Nairobi, it was an importunate symbol that the colonial enterprise in Kenya was now in high gear. Later, Fort Smith gained unwelcome notoriety as the site where freedom-fighter Waiyaki wa Hinga was tried and hastily sentenced to exile. Sadly, this landmark is now on a path to its crumble. It is located 15 kms from Nairobi, at Ndumbu-ini Village, near Kikuyu. The history of modern Kenya starts with the railway. Sir Charles Eliot, the commissioner of British East Africa who presided over its construction, proclaimed after the task was completed that: “It is not uncommon for a country to create a railway, but it is uncommon for a railway to create a country.” – Excerpt from the 1843 Magazine , August 2016

  1. Ondiri Swamp

The papyrus fringed Ondiri Swamp, "a misnomer because it is not a swamp per se but what is known as a peat bog, and Kenya’s largest highland bog", is found just 1 km from Kikuyu Town. Despite its unpopularity it was at one time the only source of water supply for Nairobi City. It possesses very unique oddities. Covering about 30-hectares, and the only known quaking bog (a spongy and shaky ground with no foundation) in Kenya, it is foremost a major inlet for Nairobi River and joins other minor streams rising from Kikuyu Escarpment to drain into Athi-Sabaki-Galana River – one of the two major rivers alongside Tana River terminating at Indian Ocean. As with many things swamps, Ondiri is thought to draw much of its water from underground seepages, which explains why it retains reasonable amounts of water even the dryer periods of the year, with little infiltration loss. It is also thought to have a dumbfounding depth of 10 kms. The second deepest wetland zone inside Africa following one in Doula Cameroon. Furthermore, this artless swamp functions as an underground outlet for Lake Naivasha. The Lari-Ondiri fault West of the Kikuyu Railway station is the only source of groundwater which leaves the area towards the eastern zone Ondigi Swamp is a popular leisure oasis and its callers particularly like to hop on the bogs. The little-known Nyakumu Swamp is located 20 kms from Ondiri Swamp.

This house got international fame when Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess Elizabeth) spent a night here on her way to Nyeri.

Image Courtesy of Nation MG Geography of Kiambu County Kiambu County is split into four broad topographical zones – Upper Highland, Lower Highland, Upper Midland and Lower Midland Zone. The higher Upper Highland Zone is found in Lari, and it is an extension of Aberdare ranges. It is dominated by highly dissected ranges and it is very wet, steep and important as a water catchment area. The lower highland zone is mostly found near Limuru and some parts of Gatundu North, Gatundu South, Githunguri and Kabete. The area is typified by hills, plateaus, and high-elevation plains. It is generally a tea and dairy zone, though some activities like maize, horticultural crops and sheep farming are also practiced. The lower midland is much drier and heavily settled. Land Use in Kiambu County Kiambu County is principally an agricultural region. The small land holdings are mostly found in upper parts of Gatundu North, Gatundu South, Kiambaa, Limuru and Kikuyu. The fragmentation of the land has made it uneconomical and majority of the farmers are converting their farms into residential plots to supplement income from the farms. The large land holdings are found in the lower parts of Kiambu County especially in Juja, Ruiru, Thika, Limuru and Lari. Highlights in Kiambu County Kiambu County does not have national parks or game reserves. It has, however, have many touring attractions, some that are still are unexploited. These sites include Kinale Forest, Kereita, Chania Falls and Fourteen Falls, Paradise Lost, Mugumo Gardens, Mau Mau Caves, Gatamaiyu Fish Camp and historical sites. Population in Kiambu County Kabete Constituency has the highest population density at 2,534 people/km2, while the least densely populated constituency is Lari, with 307 perople/km2 – mainly due to the fact that a considerable part of the area is covered by forests. The high population density and growth has exerted pressure on the available land, leading to subdivision of land into uneconomical units. According to the 2009 Kenya Population and Housing Census, Kiambu County had a population of 1,766,058 – expected to reach close to 2,032,464 people by the end of 2017.
