Rimoi cradles the southern half of Kerio Valley National Park. It can be accessed from Iten or Eldoret, and fairly easily from Lake Baringo 80km away if you have your own wheels. But they better be good ones; the roads inside the reserve are rough and better suited to the elephants and buffaloes than to rubber. Rangers can advise on suitable sites for wild camping.
