Kerio Valley National Reserve, Protected area in Rift Valley Province, Kenya
The Kerio Valley National Reserve spans 66 square kilometers between the Cherangani Hills and Tugen Hills, featuring semi-tropical vegetation on slopes and thorn bushes in the valley.
The establishment of this protected territory in 1983 led to increased wildlife populations, including elephants that now regularly travel through local farming areas.
The Kalenjin herders maintain their traditional livestock practices in the territories surrounding the reserve, adapting to the seasonal patterns of the land.
July and August provide the most suitable conditions for visiting the reserve, when temperatures remain moderate and the landscape turns green after the seasonal rains.
The Kerio River flows through a deep gorge within the reserve, creating a habitat for crocodiles and contributing to the water supply of Lake Turkana.
