Kikuyu lies just northwest of Nairobi in Kiambu county and forms part of the capital's expanding commuter belt. It sits at altitude on the edge of the highlands, and is largely residential with an old mission station at its core.
The town is residential rather than a destination. Nairobi National Park, where wildlife roams within sight of the city skyline, lies to the southeast, and the Rift Valley escarpment viewpoints and Lake Naivasha are a drive to the northwest.
Matatu minibuses are the standard transport into Nairobi, and a commuter rail line serves the corridor. Traffic on the approaches to the capital is heavy at peak times.
The altitude keeps temperatures mild year-round with cool nights. There are two rainy seasons, and the drier periods between them are the most settled for travel and wildlife viewing.
Kenya uses the KES, calling code +254.
Kenya uses the shilling, and Swahili and English are both official with Kikuyu widely spoken locally. Mobile money is used for almost everything, including small purchases, and is worth arranging.
