Guided Tours
1 or 2 days
A number of day trips are available from Kerio View. Very popular are Torok Falls, Chebloch Gorge and Rimoi Reserve.There is also the possibity of a few trips to destinations further afield, involving one night out. Lake Baringo offers good accommodation but is the exception; —- most overnights will be in more simple facilities (or even tents).
Destination excursions
There-and-back’ trips with a primary destination as the objective; — likely to take between 6 and 12 hours. Examples include: KIpteber Hill, Teren Gorge, Kiplachoch Cave and Irrigation furrows of Endo.
The longer days mean .taking a very early breakfast in KV and a packed lunch.

Meeting the people
The possible routes are many and can be adapted according to conditions, but it is advisable to travel no more than 150 km a day; — otherwise too much time is spent in the car.
The limiting factor for tours of 2 (or more) days is where to make the overnight stay(s).
Usually a circuit through both highlands and valley to show the contrasting climate, vegetation and scenery. Frequent stops are made for refreshments and taking photos.

A night out
Don’t expect luxury. The food options will also be limited. But you will definitely have an experience to write home about.
Camping can be an option for younger clients, particularly when weather and destination are suitable.
Hill & Mountain walks
They range from short training hikes to more serious mountain ascents. Mount Elgon (the second highest mountain in Kenya), for example, can be done in one day but is better enjoyed and safer with an overnight out. Advice and guides are very important for these trips, as so much depends on the fitness and altitude-adaptation of the clients and the weather conditions to be expected.
Faces & Places fot the album
It is rare for people to object to your taking photographs. Occasionally, someone may not be happy with a close-up / portrait —- but it is amazing what one can do with the zoom lens. As a general rule, never pay for photos — but don’t hesitate to give someone a token of appreciation after he / she has consented to be in the picture. There is a subtle, but important, difference.
