Cherangani Hills

Description:

Remote highland trekking range in western Kenya.

Best Time to Visit:

December-February & June-September

Extended Description:

The Cherangani Hills are a remote, rolling highland range in western Kenya, forming part of the Rift Valley's western wall. One of Kenya's few genuine trekking wildernesses, they offer multi-day ridgeline hikes, waterfalls, rivers, indigenous forest, and sweeping views toward the Rift and Mount Elgon. With almost no tourists, farming villages, and cool mountain air, this is the destination for serious hikers and off-grid adventurers.
