Personal highlights

  1. Great rift valley: pit stop on the way to Masai Mara, Hell's Gate or Nakuru
  2. Viewpoint: the place where all safari and day trips from Nairobi have a break
  3. Souvenirs: surprisingly high quality and many toilets - behind the souvenir shop
  4. Coffee break: serving freshly brewed coffee (black or white), chapati and a coke!
  5. Tectonic: this is where the African plate is torn apart (into Somalian and Nubian)
