Kanyonyoo Wildlife Conservancy is 231 km2 of arid bushland interspersed with acacia accommodating remnants of once prolific plains game that freely roamed the previously unsettled area. It is about 76 km east of Thika near Kanyonyoo Market. The A3 Thika-Garissa-Liboi Road progresses along its southern flanks, while the B7 Kibwezi – Kitui – Kandwia – Usueni Road travel on its western frontier, so it is approachable from the south as well as from the east.
So far there is no accommodation within the conservancy but it is served by Thatha Hills Resort and Kitui Premier Resort both within a reasonable distance. The conservancy was established to preserve the existing wildlife in harmony with ranching. Some of the notable wildlife include buffaloes, zebra, antelopes, and giraffes. It is also home to variegated birdlife. The generally dry climate of Kitui means that its parkways are passable almost all year round.
Against the backdrop of Thatha Hills it is almost guaranteed success, yet, in addition, it has an impressive game. The fact that Kanyonyoo Wildlife Conservancy lacks a focal point or a much-talked-about spectacle makes for a pleasant afternoon game drive full of adventure. From Kitui Town, this is located 30 km northerly in Thatha Village.
