Car
If you are driving from Lodwar, head northwest on the A1 highway. After about 30 kilometers, look for signs indicating the road to Jesus Hill (4JG5+24C). The turn-off is well-marked. Continue on this road for approximately 10 kilometers until you reach the entrance to Jesus Hill. There is no entrance fee, but it's advisable to have a local map or GPS for navigation.
Public Transportation
From Lodwar, take a matatu (shared taxi) heading towards Lake Turkana. Confirm with the driver that they will stop near Jesus Hill. The fare is typically around 200-300 Kenyan shillings. Upon reaching the vicinity, you may need to walk about 2 kilometers to reach Jesus Hill itself. It’s recommended to ask locals for directions if you are unsure.
Walking
If you are already close to Jesus Hill, you can walk from the nearest point accessible by car or matatu. Make sure to bring sufficient water and wear comfortable shoes as the terrain may be uneven. The walk should take about 30 minutes from the nearest drop-off point.
