Njabini is a small town in Nyandarua County, Kenya.

It lies to the east of the Aberdare ranges and due to this receives a significant proportion of the rainfall in the region. It's a highly productive agricultural area with vegetables being the mainstay. Njabini town is the administrative district for Kinangop division. Approximately 40% of the population have clean accessible water. Electricity is supplied mainly to residential and commercial properties but high installation costs put it out of reach of many residents. The Sasumua and Chania rivers traverse the area. They both merge and drain into the Sasumua dam. The impounded water is treated at the water works before being piped to Nairobi. The treated water accounts for roughly 30% of the capital's requirements.

There are several primary schools which serve the local community.
