Hike Details

Sleeping Warrior and Ugali Hills Excursion

Lets go awaken the Warrior!!! and walk the shores of the pink lake as you take in the sights and sounds, Stand on the chest of the warrior and explore the beauty that is Elementaita. Located adjacent to Lake Elementaita, and approximate 140 Km from Nairobi, the sleeping warrior hill is a mimic of sleeping Maasai Warrior and noticeably the peak or the summit that resembles his nose from a distance. The locals associate the hill with a Masai Oloibon who died long time ago.
The trail starts from Lake Elementaita main gate and runs along the shores of the lake to the hot springs where locals and vistors takes a shower as the water is believed to have a healing effect on one’s skin. It then proceeds towards the base of the Sleeping warrior before leading to a sharp ascent to the nose (peak) which provides a mesmerizing view of the lake and the caldera. The trail then descends towards the Eastern side for a short trek through rocky volcanic rocks before turning into a steep climb to the Ugali hill. At the top of the hill provides a panoramic view of the lake and beautiful landscape of the rift valley. The trail then descends to lead towards a dirt road that leads to the ending point which is the Nairobi Nakuru highway. The trek takes approximate 8 hours.
The walk gives the trekkers an opportunity to view wildlife, birds and a scenic view of the lake Elementaita and beautiful landscapes
