At an altitude of 2336 meters with a height difference of 180 meters, this paragliding site is rated highly and is frequently used. It offers excellent cross-country (XC) flying opportunities, making it one of the top spots for distance flying in Africa. The best time for distance flying is in January, and toplanding is generally straightforward. Located in the Kerio Valley region near Eldoret, Kenya, this site boasts a site record of 114.5 km. The ridge length is 90 km, and free distance flights of up to 240 km are possible. Triangular routes with flatland flying are also feasible. Takeoff is typically from Kerio Valley or the highlands of Kenya. The area offers numerous starting points, making it ideal for beginners. The west side of Kerio Valley is particularly favorable for flying, as 90% of the wind comes from the east. The height difference from the top to the bottom of the valley is approximately 1200 meters. The ideal starting place is near the Hotel Kerio View.
