Kerio View Hotel: All About The Views
Perched dramatically on the fringe of Elgeyo Escarpment, with picture-postcard views overlooking the vast and wondrous Kerio Valley, Kerio View Hotel is one of three speciality lodges in Elgeyo Marakwet. As the name suggests, Kerio View Hotel wallows in a one-of-a-kind scenery, which is the biggest ace-in-the-hole.
It’s all about the view. A specificity of this hotel is that its facade is mostly made of glass, which entitles its patrons to enjoy the fine views at all times. And whilst it is an eye-catching building, it is modest enough to let the view take center-stage. Inside, the layout is minimalist, rustic and earthy – exemplified by good finishes, fine woodwork on its walls, panels and floors – decorously contrasting the views.
The rooms are minimalist also but quite snug. Different rooms have unique styling styles. There is a gym too. From the comfort of the hotel, guests can enjoy views of Kerio Valley in many ways. It has an elevated catwalk viewing ledge running across the front-facing garden that is meant to give its guests an experience of walking on air as they relish uninterrupted views of the valley and escarpment.
For the nature lovers, Kerio View Hotel has two superb walking trails – one going down the escarpment to the valley and the other going across the escarpment. If the above were not sufficient, Kerio View Hotel is also a hot-spot for professional athletes who are more than happy to let you tag along on a wild run through the rural country. Then, there is the nearby Rimoi National Reserve where wildlife can be sighted in plenty. It is located 35 km from Eldoret, and about 3 km from Iten.
