A Unique Tree-Top Dining Experience
Just 100 meters off the main Kiganjo Nanyuki road stands Trout Tree Restaurant one of Kenya’s most unusual and memorable dining spots. The restaurant is ingeniously built around a giant Mugumo fig tree creating a treehouse-style atmosphere where guests feel surrounded by nature. Its rustic wooden design and open air decks allow fresh breezes and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside offering a perfect escape from the bustle of city life. For travellers on the way to or from Nanyuki, Mount Kenya or Ol Pejeta Conservancy this is an excellent stopover.
Fresh Trout from Pond to Plate
The highlight of Trout Tree is without a doubt its fresh rainbow trout. The fish are reared in ponds on the property supplied by clear mountain spring water. This means the trout you enjoy is farm to fork in the truest sense. From crispy fried fillets to grilled trout served with vegetables and sauces the menu is both simple and delicious. Vegetarian options and child-friendly meals are also available making it suitable for groups and families. The open decks provide a unique vantage point to look down into the ponds while dining connecting you to the source of your meal in a way few restaurants can offer.
A Haven for Wildlife Lovers
Beyond the food Trout Tree is also a little sanctuary for wildlife. Troops of black and white colobus monkeys often leap gracefully through the branches adding to the magical atmosphere. Guests are welcome to watch them up close and sometimes even feed them under the guidance of the staff. Bird enthusiasts will also enjoy spotting a variety of local species that thrive in the lush environment. The combination of dining and wildlife observation makes Trout Tree much more than a restaurant.
Perfect Stop for Travelers
Whether you are driving from Nairobi, flying into Nanyuki or exploring nearby attractions Trout Tree Restaurant is an ideal stopover. It is only about 3 kilometers from Nanyuki Airstrip and just off the main road making access easy. The restaurant caters to couples seeking a romantic tree top meal, families looking for a fun outing and groups of travellers eager to discover something different along their safari route. It pairs well with visits to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Mount Kenya National Park or Ngare Ndare Forest all within short driving distance.
