Thuci River Lodge: Country Style Retreat
Thuci River marks the border between Embu and Tharaka Nithi counties. Mount Kenya, where the border commences, is the headwater for Thuci River, draining into River Tana which supplies 80% of Kenya’s electricity utilizing a network of five hydroelectric stations. Thuci River Lodge, a country style lodge in the northern corner of Embu County, oozes the agrestic lifestyle of the agrarian highlands. It is unsophisticated, with modest but standard rooms, a restaurant and bar facilities.
Thuci River Lodge is a birding country, really, but at the outdoor swimming pool merriment seems more the rule. The countryside delights include wading into streams barefoot, fly fishing at Thuci River, and also interacting with the locals. Between meals, guests can retreat to the well-stocked watering hole. This is also a good jumping-off place to tour Nthenge-Njeru, Mount Kenya National Park, Kiang’ombe Forest Reserve and Kianjiru Hill. It is located 34 km from Embu town via B6 Road, turning right at Kathengeri to Kathageri-Kanyuambora Road for 1 km.
Situated at the base of Mount Kenya, Embu County offers a rich tapestry of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and adventure activities, making it a rewarding destination for travelers seeking an authentic experience in the central highland of Kenya. Engage with the Aembu and Mbeere people, who inhabit the region, and learn about their traditional way of life, like farming practices, music, and dance.
