Getting There

  • Car

    If you are driving a car, start from Nanyuki town, which is a popular base for tourists in Laikipia. Head east on the Nanyuki-Nairobi road (A2) for approximately 18 kilometers until you reach the junction at Rumuruti. Turn left onto the B5 road and continue for about 30 kilometers. Look for signs indicating Loroghi Plateau and follow the dirt roads towards the plateau. The roads can be rough, so ensure your vehicle is suitable for off-road conditions. There are no tolls on this route, but you may need to pay for fuel along the way.

  • Public Transportation

    To reach Loroghi Plateau via public transportation, start by taking a matatu (shared taxi) from Nanyuki to Rumuruti. The fare is usually around 100-200 KES, and the journey takes about 30 minutes. Once in Rumuruti, you will need to hire a private taxi or join a local group heading to the plateau, as public transport directly to Loroghi Plateau is limited. Be prepared to negotiate the fare for the taxi, which can range from 1000-3000 KES depending on your bargaining skills and the number of passengers.

  • Walking

    If you are adventurous and already near the base of Loroghi Plateau, you can hike to the plateau. Make sure to start early in the day for safety. From the nearest village, follow local paths and consult with residents for guidance. It is advisable to go with a local guide to navigate the terrain effectively. This method is free, but you might consider tipping your guide if you have one.
