Mogotio Equator Crossing: On Both Sides Now
The customary stop-over at Mogotio Equator Crossing has been a decades old tradition and norm by travellers to Baringo. Situated from 40 km from Nakuru Town, it is for Baringo County what the Iten Viewpoint is to the neighbouring Elgeyo Marakwet County, the universal welcome. Adequate photos at the fabricated model of earth and the Equator beacon are the main highlights.
Almost always hot and dusty at the Mogotio Equator Crossing, it is a poignant nudge that in the immediate north of the North Hemisphere lies one of the driest and arid blocks of land in Kenya – the adulated Northern Frontier District. At the modern Mogotio Equator Information Centre, which is the main development here, travellers can get reliable information about Baringo County and beyond.
From Mogotio Crossing it is easy to make quick detours to nearby Hotel Lomanira, Olduka Valley, Sawaiti Wetland, Mogotio Sisal Farms and Maji Moto before proceeding north to Lakes Bogoria and Baringo National Reserves.
Touring Baringo County offers a unique blend of cultural experiences, natural wonders, and outdoor adventures. Many of its hidden gems, along Kenya’s Rift Valley, create unforgettable memories. Baringo County’s vast ecological gamut is a road-trip lover’s playground, birder’s haven and photographer’s paradise.
