Nature and Wildlife

Elgeyo Marakwet boasts one of the most spectacular stretches of the Great African Rift Valley, with one breath-taking view after another.

See Torok River plunging over the edge, creating Kenya‘s highest waterfall at 200 meters!

Most of the County‘s water comes from Cherangani Hills, which are partially covered by a dense rainforest of rosewood, podocarpus and African cedar trees wearing long, green beards of moss.

The adjacent Kerio Valley is a sharp contrast with impressive features such as scorching acacia bush.  

The Chebloch Gorge is a narrow pass of Kerio River lined with black basalt

Rimoi National Reserve, the only wildlife park of the County is home to herds of elephants and a true safari country!
