    It was a nice experience with beautiful views, a relaxing mountain vibe, and good hiking trails for picnics and hangouts. I liked the informational boards, but was disappointed by the lack of prehistoric displays, tour guides, poorly marked trails, and the need for better care of the tortoise enclosure.

    lt was a nice experience, top notch basis on the mesmerising views ,hiking trails,the chill mountain vibe,good for hangouts and picnics and i loved that there were small boards explaining the trees and some parts of the museum but l was disappointed that there was no actual representations of the prehistoric things,lack of tour guides and well informed tour guide,poorly maintained nature trails and not labelled you can easily get lost,the tortoise pit also needs to be seriously considered and the tortoise looked after.

    Worth a visit if you’re in Nakuru. A short hike to the summit and you’ll get a lovely view of Lake Nakuru and Lake Elementaita at a distance. The tortoises are just the icing on the cake! Loved it.

    It a fun place place to go for an out of town excursion...Has a great view of the city from the top and a quiet place to put your mind back together after a lot of work... Best place for hiking activities and team building. This place has a rich history and evidence of past human life. With a small fee of less than 2 dollars you get to experience all these. Tembea Kenya and see the great cultural diversity you haven't seen 🤗
