 Koitalel moseliumThis memorial is also a mausoleum and a museum situated in Nandi Hills town. The mausoleum houses the remains (except the skull) of Koitalel who was the spiritual leader (orkoiyot) of the Nandi when their land was being invaded by the British. How he was assassinated in 1905 and the treatment of his brothers is grim but fascinating history. More uplifting is the story of how the British officer ...... |  Ndalat hillThe hill is 2196m high, so it is not really a challenge to reach the top; but, its open, grassy slopes are steep in places and can be slippy, especially after rain. The local community are very friendly and will even keep you company on your hike. |  Bonjoge National ReserveBonjoge is a designated national reserve of 21 km2 area, located on the undulating uplands atop the Nandi Escarpment, only 15 km north of Kisumu. It was a fertile area of great biodiversity, with rivers, swathed in riverine woodland, flowing down to the Victoria Lake Basin; but, in recent times, underwent exploitation and depletion by human activities. It is now to be protected and restored through the agency of the Kenya Wildlife Service. More from the Resort.... |

 Nandi rainforestsThese are the North Nandi Forest, the South Nandi Forest and the North Tinderet Forest. All are important reserves and refuges for plants and animals, many of them endangered species.The North Nandi Forest and the South Nandi Forest are particularly important in that they are a unique mid-altitude ecosystem transitional in composition between the equatorial forests of central Africa (Congo type --- of which the Kakamega Forest is the last surviving remnant in East Africa). |  Keben springsThe lick is actually a spring of alkaline "soda water" which emanates from rocky ground and then descends as small waterfalls over rocks. It is surrounded by unique vegetation and indigenous forest and close by there are caves that can be explored. It is located near Lessos |  NandiRockThis, is the most prominent rock formation along the whole length of the Nandi (Nyando) Escarpment. It is of great cultural significance to both the Nandi and Luo and is a marker of the escarpment boundary between the tribes. On the plains immediately below is one of the locations where barter trade took place between the two.The walk to the Rock, over coarse-grained boulders and low-growing vegetation in rich, black soil is not very challenging and soon one reaches rock ledges offering ....... |

The surrounding open woodland provides beautiful picnic sites. Bird-lovers will not be disappointed; the cliffs, hanging rocks and indigenous trees are home and hunting-grounds for a variety of species, including Augur Buzzard, Grey Heron, Red-billed Hornbill, Red-cheeked Cordon-bleu and Cliff Chat. Be careful when clambering on the rocks. “Chepkiit" means “view from afar” |  Morobi Sheu- "Valley of death"This is a steep and overhanging cliff, perhaps 300 m high, located between two hills covered by thick forest, on the Nandi Escarpment. It is regarded with awe and fear by some locals, since, in times past, very old people would, believing themselves to be useless, jump to their deaths here. For some, the leap was not a matter of choice; elders exceeding 100 years in age and women with illicit pregnancies would be taken there and given a little push.Sheu means 'we go for ever". |
