Getting There

  • Car

    If you're traveling by car, start from Kapenguria, the nearest major town. Head northwest on the A1 towards Kitale. After approximately 43 km, take the exit toward the B3 road to Lodwar. Continue on the B3 for about 80 km until you reach the junction for the Nasolot National Reserve. The reserve is located approximately 12 km off the main road, and you'll need to follow the signs to the entrance. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for rough terrain, as the roads can be challenging.

  • Public Transportation

    For public transportation, take a matatu (shared taxi) from Kapenguria to Lodwar. The journey takes about 2-3 hours. Once in Lodwar, you can hire a local taxi or arrange for a boda-boda (motorcycle taxi) to take you to the entrance of Nasolot National Reserve. The distance is around 30 km from Lodwar to the reserve entrance. Make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand, which can cost approximately 1000-1500 Kenyan Shillings.

  • Walking

    If you're near the reserve and prefer to walk, you can trek from the nearby villages. However, ensure you have a local guide for safety and navigation, as the area can be remote. Walking trails can vary in length and difficulty, so it's best to ask locals for the safest and most accessible paths to the reserve.
