The Homely Lelin Overland Campsite




Situated at the base of the magnificent Kerio valley sits the home-away-from-home, the Lelin Overland Campsite. The road meanders of Iten(the haven of the famous athletes) as well as observing the overlooking rocky creeks of the mighty escarpments not only offer a great deal of sun but also awe in the beautiful work of the nature.



















Lelin is a place packed with all a man would need to enjoy a weekend getaway to his full satisfaction. Talk of a campsite where you wake up and go you can wake up and do some Duff Mpararo (Swimming in a river) to teh max. Here you jump down a cliff and you enjoy the cooling effect of the water below. Dont be deceived, the water down there may seem warm but like you remember Geography (The higher you go....) well, here you experience the opposite of that. Damn, isnt the experience amazing?





At Lelin there is food.... ooops! Did I say food? I meant to say delicacies that you cannot taste anywhere else in Kenya. Here you get to taste those local delicacies at a relatively low price. Breakfast for the campers is not just healthy, but it is prepared with so much love and attention. Talk of ngwaci, nduma, Chapos, roasted maize😅😅😅😅😅 you name them. 








A night at Lelin Campsite is just what you need. I know you are gonna love it. Get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and come down here! I know you gonna love it at Lelin. 


Karibu Lelin!!!!

Since my high school days, I developed this great fantasy of travelling to Arizona, United States just to experience the awesome view of river Colorado's Grand Canyon. My geography teacher( one very tall man and of course one of my favorite pedagogues) explained the beauty of this magnificent work of nature and this made my plane take off. Ever since I have been travelling to see the Grand Canyon; in my mind; just like they say that imagination will always take you to places even eagle have never landed. On my journey, luckily, I landed at my destination and I beheld what I leaned from my teacher and much much more, right here in my land, my beautiful, magnificent, awe-inspiring Kenya. The breathtaking Hell's Kitchen. Oblique View of a part of Kenya's Grand Canyon  Along  Lamu road, just after crossing the Sabaki River in the Marafa Depression stands this natural landscape of the eroded gulleys and valleys that were formed as a result of erosion of the underlyin

Right from branching off from Nairobi-Kisumu highway one cannot avoid being mesmerized by the beautiful and amazing sceneries along the Kakamega -Malava road. Beautiful land? NO! Beautiful would be an understatement when it comes to describing this land. It is just heart-melting. Lovely!  One of the spectacular sceneries in this land is the  The Crying  Stone of Ilesi .
