The Great Rift Valley View Point
The Great Rift Valley View Point is located near Limuru, Kenya, on the eastern edge of the Great Rift Valley. It is a classic scenic stopover on the way from Nairobi to Lake Naivasha, Nakuru, or Masai Mara. Driving northwest out of Nairobi, tea plantations and pine forests stretch across the highlands, suddenly stopping here as the land drops sharply to the west—standing on the edge of the cliff over 2,000 m high, the Great Rift Valley from your geography textbook lies beneath your feet: the valley floor is wide and flat, with the distinct outline of Mount Longonot directly ahead, its summit featuring a forest-covered crater; when the weather is clear, Lake Naivasha to the northwest glimmers with a silver light; the plains to the south stretch all the way toward Masai Mara, offering an incredibly expansive view. This rift zone, known as the "scar of the Earth," was shaped by long-term crustal movements. In a broad sense, it extends north to the Jordan Valley in Western Asia and south to Mozambique, stretching thousands of km and branching into eastern and western sections. The section running through Kenya spans approx. 800 km, is tens of km wide and hundreds of m deep, with a remarkably clear outline. It happens to intersect with the equator that crosses the country, splitting the land in two, which is why Kenya is known as the "East African Cross." Some geologists speculate that in the distant future, the African continent may split in two along this rift. Standing on the viewing platform is like standing on the edge of a continent that is slowly tearing apart. After leaving the viewing platform, the road winds down the steep cliff to the valley floor and continues toward Lake Naivasha.Kenya · Limuru Town.

The Great Rift Valley of East Africa in Amboseli is definitely the most magnificent natural landscape in the world. It has formed a natural canyon more than 100 kilometers wide. It is home to dense forests and rich flora and fauna. It is definitely an important source of life on the African continent. The scenery here is magnificent and it is definitely a green lung on the African continent. It is well worth a visit.

We did a 5 day tailor-made private safari with Explorer Kenya in September 2019 and were generally pleased with it. Our driver was Kalasha. He was very knowledgeable and eager to share his beautiful country with us. He told us about the history of Kenya, the different tribes, conservation efforts by the government and private sector, and more. He provided us with local snacks that he bought along the way, which tasted delicious.
