About Sleeping Warrior & Lion Hill

Sleeping Warrior is the unmistakable silhouette you see on the drive between Naivasha and Nakuru — a long ridge shaped exactly like a sleeping warrior. The hike up to the 'chest' is steep but short, with Lake Elementaita flamingo-pink in the distance. We pair this with a stay at Soysambu Conservancy for a wildlife evening drive.

Trail highlights

  • Iconic Rift Valley silhouette hike
