Outdoor Adventure in Machakos
Lukenya Motorcross: Fun Many Ways
The crowd-puller and greatest asset at the adventure-outfit Lukenya Motocross is the ace quad bike circuit: An adrenaline-packed course that takes riders through various challenging sections including a tricky-to-navigate mud patch; past the wildlife near Lukenya Hills and through rough and tough sections of dirt, rocks, bush and savanna. The course, which takes on average 30 minutes to complete, has been expertly build to maximize on the thrill factor and to incorporate high safety standards. Given the picturesque setting around the Lukenya Hills and the genuinely fine layout of the course, quad biking at Lukenya Motocross is worth all the effort of travelling there. For those who fancy something more tenuous and quieter can settle for rides on the hover boards, segways and scooters (on a specially build track). Other amenities include the 11-rooms lodge (with deluxe and standard rooms), outdoor restaurant and lounge, a large swimming pool and camping ground. It is located only 51 kms from Nairobi. To get there, head out on the A104 Nairobi-Mombasa Road until Athi River and take the turnoff to Daystar University. From the A 109 Road turnoff Lukenya Motorcross is about 4 kms away.
Thanks to its diverse landscape, Kenya offers a wide range of outdoor adventures. Mount Kenya, Africa’s second-highest peak, offers various climbing routes. Experience a unique perspective of Kenya’s wildlife and landscapes with a hot air balloon safari over Masai Mara. At the coast, enjoy activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, kite surfing, and boat tours to explore coral reefs and marine life.

outlook
Part of the larger Ukambani alongside Kitui and Makueni, Machakos County is a nexus between Maasailand, the coast region, the central highlands, and Nairobi. The northern area of Machakos, being a dormitory zone for the capital of Nairobi and a peri-urban buffer for Kiambu, is developed with useful amenities. Southerly heading the ecology is continually semi-arid and the countryside more desolate.
