Answered by Herman Ngugi Kahoi , Nanyuki, Kenya
Kangari is situated at Kinyona Location,Kigumo Division, Muranga South District; about 78km from Nairobi. The town is accessible using two routes. Drive past Thika and turn off at Kandara-Gachirigwi, Githumu Road which is shorter, The other route is longer pass through Kenol-Murang'a road and turn off at Kaharati through Makomboki.
The town provides a unique picturesque of Aberdares Ranges. It is cold, mainly inhabited by Kikuyu people whose main economic activity is tea farming and dairy keeping.
I quite well know the place and i have many friends there because i took my high school education there. I was at Njiiris School, 10km from the Kangari shopping center.

Kangari is in Central Province. If you are looking to trace this family or someone, I would suggest going to the Kenya Red Cross. They are excellent when it comes to tracing people.
