CASA MIA GUIDE · ELDORET · UASIN GISHU
Where to stay in Eldoret.
Eldoret is the main city of Kenya's North Rift highlands, known worldwide as home to champion distance runners. Visitors come for business, family visits, universities and hospitals, and to train or watch athletics in nearby Iten.
Why visit Eldoret?
Eldoret sits high in the Rift Valley highlands, so days are mild and evenings are cool. It is a busy, friendly city with good shopping, restaurants and transport links.
Common reasons to stay: business and conferences, visiting family, Moi University and other colleges, the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, and athletics training and races in the region.
Things to do in and around Eldoret
- Iten, the famous high-altitude running town, is a short drive away, with training camps and views over the Kerio Valley.
- Kerio Valley viewpoints on the escarpment: dramatic views, cliffs and paragliding spots.
- Kipchoge Keino Stadium: athletics meetings and events in town.
- Rupa Mall and the city centre for shopping and dining. Rupa Mall is about 5 minutes from The Rustic.
