Getting There

  • Car

    If you are driving from the main road in the Loita Plains, head towards Narok. After approximately 20 kilometers, look for a sign indicating the turnoff towards G389. Take this road and continue straight for another 15 kilometers. Keep an eye out for directional signs towards Ol Lentille. As you approach, you will find the entrance on your right, marked by a clearly visible sign. Ensure your vehicle has good clearance as some parts of the road can be bumpy.

Once you arrive in Loita Plains, ask the local drivers about matatus heading towards G389. There may be fewer options here, so it's advisable to confirm the schedule.
