Insider tip — Kapedo Hot Springs gush from the floor of the Gregory Rift at one of Kenya's most remote and geologically active thermal fields, where the East African Rift System reaches the surface with spectacular force. The chloride-rich water at 48°C issues from the ground in boiling streams that cascade into the Turkwell river gorge amid thorn-bush savanna and dramatic escarpment scenery. Access requires a 4WD and is best arranged through Baringo County guides who know the dry-season tracks.
