Description
Early Morning: Departure from Eldoret

Mid-Morning: Caves and Waterfalls Exploration
Begin your exploration on the lower forest circuit with key highlights:
• Makingeny Caves
Marvel at the geological wonder of these bat-inhabited caves set within thick forest cover — a perfect spot for curious explorers and nature photography.
• Chesurur Waterfalls
Enjoy the peaceful ambience of this hidden gem tucked in the forested slopes. The cascading waters and serene surroundings offer an ideal moment for relaxation and short walks.

Visit the park’s most famous cave, known for its salt-rich walls that attract elephants and other wildlife. With luck, you might spot signs of recent animal visits or even encounter wildlife nearby.
