| | Porwolls’ Scouting Pilgrimage to Kenya |
 | | One of the largest towns in Kenya (the map says its population is between 100,000 and 500,000), Nyeri (pronounced "Near-ee") is the administrative headquarters of the Central Province and one of the liveliest highland towns. |
 | | Of more special interest, Nyeri was also the last home of Robert Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the worldwide Scouting movement, whose Paxtu cottage, now a small museum, stands on the grounds of the Outspan Hotel. |
 | | The Outspan, with its beautiful gardens, is the stately base of operations for those visiting Treetops, a famous lodge set on stilts in the forest nearby, whose salt-lick and lake attract wild animals for viewing at all times of the day and night. |
