Kerio Valley & Tugen Hills

At Tortel Discoveries, we curate journeys that go beyond the ordinary — and Kerio Valley & Tugen Hills embody that spirit perfectly. Nestled within Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, Kerio Valley plunges dramatically over 1,200 meters, offering breathtaking panoramas and thrilling adventure opportunities. From the famous Iten viewpoint, our guests can experience paragliding, guided hikes, and birdwatching across rugged escarpments and acacia woodlands. Encounters with the Marakwet and Pokot communities add authentic cultural immersion, showcasing traditional beekeeping, terraced farming, and vibrant local heritage.

Rising to the west, the Tugen Hills are a chain of ancient volcanic ridges rich in geological and anthropological significance. Fossil discoveries here have shaped human origins research, while the hills themselves provide scenic trekking routes, sunrise and sunset viewpoints, and cultural exchanges with the Tugen people. With Tortel’s logistical precision, we seamlessly connect this destination to nearby highlights such as Lake Baringo and Lake Bogoria, where flamingos, hot springs, and unique landscapes complete the adventure.
