Utu Porini

Utu Porini is our nature sanctuary in Mwereri, Nanyuki, at the foothills of the Ol Daiga Hills, and our home for restorative stays, guided excursions and community conservation. Explore its gardens and earth-built spaces, visit beekeepers where Utu Asali honey is made, and support the people who protect local knowledge, wildlife and land.
