Car
From the Mount Longonot National Park entrance, head towards the Nakuru - Nairobi Road (A104). Drive for approximately 10 km to reach the Rukuma Viewpoint Escarpment Lari. Look for signs indicating the viewpoint on your right. There is no entrance fee for the viewpoint, but ensure you have enough fuel as there are limited refueling stations nearby.
Public Transportation
Start from Mount Longonot and take a matatu (shared taxi) heading towards Naivasha. Ask the driver to drop you off at the Nakuru - Nairobi Road junction. From there, you can either walk approximately 2 km along the road to reach the Rukuma Viewpoint Escarpment Lari or arrange for a local boda-boda (motorcycle taxi) to take you directly to the viewpoint. The ride should cost around 200 KES.
