HOW TO GET TO RONDO:
When coming to Rondo from Nairobi, the most direct route to use is through Nakuru and up to the Eldoret Road. This is a good new road although there is a stretch of really rough road before the turning. Turn left at the old “Burnt Forest” junction, now called Nabkoi onto the Lessos road (C36) which joins the Eldoret/Kapsabet road after 48.3 km. Turn left at the T Junction. Proceed to Kapsabet and pass through the town for a further 19 km. This brings you to the Chepsonoi police post. You will find a sign to Rondo. Turn right on to the murram road which leads you through the forest for 9Km to Rondo Retreat.
Note that travelling time from Nairobi is approximately 5 ˝ - 6 hours, depending on speed and traffic.
Alternatively, 540 have introduced direct flights from Nairobi to Kakamega. The flight takes one hour. A taxi may be arranged for your transfer from the airstrip to Rondo.
Alternate Route To Rondo
An alternate route, for those who do not mind a slightly longer and more scenic route,
avoiding the many trailers on the Eldoret Road is through Eldama Ravine.
Head towards Nakuru. Turn right onto the B4 just before entering Nakuru (before
heading under the railway bridge). After 26.7 km take the left turn to Eldama Ravine
(C55). Remain on the road for 32.7 km. You will rejoin the Nakuru - Eldoret road at
Makutano. Turn right onto the Al04 heading towards Eldoret for 40 km. The road is
badly troughed by trailers after Timboroa, so take care. Turn left at Nabkoi (formerly
Burnt Forest) onto the C36. Drive for 48.3 km which brings you to a junction (Eldoret -
Kapsabet road). Turn left, proceed through Kapsabet and continue for a further 19 km,
which will bring you to Chepsonoi Police Post. There is a sign to Rondo Retreat. Turn
right onto the murram road which leads into the forest. After 9 km you arrive at Rondo.
Bon voyage!
