Hiking Adventure to the Top of Hyrax Hill, You MUST See the Views of Nakuru from Here

Описание: Hyrax Hill Museum is located 4kms from the central business district of Nakuru town and 152 Kms from Nairobi city, approximately 400meters from the Nairobi –Nakuru highway.
It is a narrow rock spur of lava, lying on the eastern edge of Nakuru town with a summit rising to an altitude of 1,900 meters above sea level; it stands at 50m above the surrounding grassy plains.

It is known locally as Hyrax hill owing to the large number of hyraxes (Proscenia capensis) which inhabit the rocks; presently only a few of these animals remain and can be occasionally spotted around the summit. The site covers an area of 59 hectares most of which is covered by the hill.

It’s composed of several habitation hollows believed to have been inhabited by the Sirikwa pastoral group who were later assimilated to the Kalenjin. The site was discovered by a colonial farmer, Mrs. Selfe, in the year 1920 and opened to the public in 1965 under the National Museums of Kenya. It was gazetted as a national monument on 13/04/95 Gazette Notice 2018 and later confirmed on 26/01/96 Gazette Notice 343.
