Most probably you are in Eldoret and you do not know where to have an adventure. Chepkiit Conservancy and Waterfalls is the place to be. A place to hang out with your friends to experience full adrenaline adventure.

Me and my Friends at Chepkiit Conservancy and Waterfalls

I remember the first and only time I went to Chepkiit falls was after my fourth-year first semester exams. We all wanted to experience fun, adventure and forget the existence of the previous exams.

Chepkiit Conservancy is not a boring place to be. Are you a rock climbing fanatic? The place is filled with rocks for you to climb.

Are you a hiking person? You can well go upstream and downstream the conservancy is big enough.

Are you a camping person? The place offers camping grounds for you and your friends. Not forgetting the place is also good for picnics and retreats.

Chepkiit Conservancy and Waterfall comprise of exotic and indigenous trees. It has a serene environment and you can feel the cool breeze from the gnashing water.

The Chepkiit waterfall is a breathtaking experience. You can actually view the waterfall from different angles- side, upstream and downstream. One thing you should know it (view) is not for the faint-hearted.

Chepkiit Conservancy and Waterfalls will soon be an amazing place since the county government and the national government promised a facelift. I can’t wait to go back and see what they have done.
