Nanyuki Civil Airport — Gathiuru, Kenya

Nanyuki Civil Airport (NYK), located at Gathiuru near Nanyuki, Kenya, sits close to Mount Kenya and serves a region popular for wildlife conservancies, safari tourism, and highland agriculture. The airport supports light aircraft, charter flights, and safari transfer operations connecting visitors to nearby conservancies such as Ol Pejeta and Lewa. NYK has historical ties to British colonial-era aviation and remains near a Kenyan military airbase used by both Kenyan and allied forces for training. Its runway accommodates small to medium aircraft rather than large commercial jets, and it functions primarily as a gateway for tourism, conservation work, and regional transport in the central Kenyan highlands near Mount Kenya's slopes.
