0700 Hours: Our thrilling and exciting Pre-Historic sites day trip departs Nairobi after an early breakfast at your hotel/ residence. The drive takes us through scenic farmlands, bustling small towns, and to the expansive Great Rift Valley.

Along the way you make a brief stop at the Mt. Longonot viewpoint where one can take photos and posed for a while to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Rift Valley.  Among the striking features visible from the viewpoint include Mt. Longonot (a dormant volcano) and Mt Suswa.

1000 Hours: Our first Kenya Archaeological site – Kariandusi Prehistoric site which is an African Stone Age Site dating close to one million years!

This site was discovered by the legendary Kenyan Paleoanthropologist and archaeologist Louis Leakey in 1928 during the expedition of the Kariandusi River Bed. Our guided tour includes a museum curator who gives detailed information on both prehistory and the history of the Kariandusi Archaeological site and Kariandusi Museum.

Other attractions at the site include a Nature trail, caves, and a monumental church building. The area is also popularly known for the mining of diatomite used for filtering soft drinks and toothpaste manufacture.

Hyrax Hill Museum depicts the lifestyle of seasonal settlement by prehistoric people at least 3,000 years old. The Museum is a former farmhouse ceded to the monument in 1965, by the Late Mr. A. Selfe.

A small museum was opened here where artifacts from the Hyrax Hill site and other sites in the Central Rift Valley are displayed. Numerous sites around the hill belong to different time periods with the earliest finds dating back to the Neolithic period. The site gets its name from the hyraxes which used to be found in abundance living in the rock cracks found in this area.
