Why Barguts Tours in Thika

Thika's position at the A2 terminus makes it the natural breakaway point for the northern circuit — Nanyuki is roughly 150km from Thika (2.5 hours) and Meru is approximately 200km (3 hours), both on good tarmac roads. Our drivers know Thika roads well — including peak-hour pinch points and the fastest routes to JKIA, Westlands, and the CBD.
