Kiganjo

Kiganjo is a place in Kenya. It is located in the province of Central, about ten kilometers east of Nyeri.

Kiganjo is the site of the Kenya Police College, the main training center of the Kenyan police forces. This school has produced several well-known long-distance runners, including Kipchoge Keino and Ben Jipcho. Also, here are a dairy of the New Kenya Co-operative Creameries and a milk depot of Brookside Milk Company. Kiganjo has a station on the routes between Nairobi and Nanyuki.

The Sagana Lodge is a government residence. The British King George VI. had his daughter Elizabeth II passed as a wedding gift. In 1952 she learned here of his death and her accession to the throne, after she had spent the night before at the nearby Treetops Hotel. In 1963 she gave the lodge to the newly independent Kenyan state. The Sagana Lodge was hardly used in the sequence, until President Uhuru Kenyatta let them renovate in 2013 in order to continue to use as a weekend residence.
