ELDORET, a larger town in western Kenya south of the Cherangani Hills 260 km from Nairobi, is a rapidly growing city within a region that has a very high agricultural output. It is the traditional area of the Kalenjin peoples. Eldoret has all the amenities a city will offer from hotels, restaurants, pubs etc and even has a modern International Airport. Iten, a small town just outside of Eldoret, has some fine lodges and places to stay with fantastic views towards the beautiful Kerio Valley. Many of Kenya's top runners come from Eldoret.
