Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Eldoret International Airport serves the city. For many journeys, Eldoret is reached by road from Nairobi; in a straight line the city lies about 265 km northwest of Nairobi. The shortlisted addresses sit along the roads you arrive by, including Eldoret Nakuru Road, the Eldoret Nakuru Highway, Eldoret Kisumu Road, Uganda Road and Nandi Road, as well as central streets such as Kenyatta Street and Sosian Street. Availability at these places is checked live for your dates, and stays in the centre are searched and booked through IMPT, the booking partner behind this site.
When to go
The site's own text gives nothing on seasons in Eldoret, so no month is singled out here. What it does say is that the city sits in the western highlands and that the air is cooler than in many other parts of the country, which is worth packing for whatever time of year you travel. The nearby town of Iten, known for its high-altitude running camps, is a reason some visitors come to this part of Kenya at all.
