West Pokot from your doorstep
Kalya sits in the county headquarters, between the Cherangani highlands and the plains that run down to Turkana.
Places worth the trip
Ask reception to arrange a driver or guide for any of these.
Kapenguria Museum
The prison and courthouse where Jomo Kenyatta and the Kapenguria Six were tried and held in 1952–53, now a national museum with a traditional Pokot homestead.
Cherangani Hills
Forest trails, cool air and wide views over the Kerio Valley. Popular for day hikes and birdwatching.
Marich Pass
The dramatic descent from the highlands to the Pokot plains on the road to Lodwar, with field-study and camping options.
Turkwel Gorge
Steep canyon walls and the Turkwel dam reservoir. A full-day trip best made with a local guide.

Fresh produce, Pokot beadwork and the everyday life of West Pokot's county headquarters.
Saiwa Swamp National Park
Kenya's smallest national park, near Kitale, home of the shy sitatunga antelope and walking-only trails.
