A mountain oasis with fantastic views over Lake Turkana. The community's efforts to regenerate the forest are paying dividends. Great walks (Lester +254724168162 was a great guide). Basic accommodation at the mission station possible but camping is probably a better option.

Mount Kulal is beautiful. A place to retreat to recharge and appreciate nature. Its a Green Island surrounded by desert. Welcome all!

Mt. Kulal is a hiker's paradise thanks to the challenging but manageable climbs. There are several peaks so you need to know which one to scale beforehand. The guides on the ground will help you make the decision based on how much time you have and where you want to start from. The views from this mountain are magnificent, from the rolling hills to the gorge, and Lake Turkana in the background. You also get a bird's eye view of the Wind Farm in the plains below. Accessing the mountain could be a challenge due to a section of rough terrain but the road was being graded as of January 2020 but when with that you still require a good 4x4.

A very natural destination filled with challenges which is ideal for trips, hikes and adventures. Went there for two weeks and enjoyed myself. Too much of good, sweet goat meat.

On of the nicest parts of Kenya. Mount Kulal is mountain range of vulcanic origin, surrounded by dry Chalbi desert. The top of mountain offers superb view on Turkana lake. Moreover, it is covered by very nice cloud rainforest which is full of animals - we have observed baboons, tauracos and footprints of leopard. Open areas are used by local pastoralists.
