Gilgil

Gilgil sits on the floor of the Great Rift Valley in Nakuru County, Kenya, where volcanic terrain leads toward the soda lakes of the central rift. The town is a road and rail stop between Nairobi and Nakuru, close to Lake Elementaita, an alkaline lake within the UNESCO-listed Kenya Lake System in the Great Rift Valley. Gilgil has long been associated with military facilities used by Kenya’s armed forces. Near Elementaita, the Kariandusi prehistoric site preserves Acheulean stone tools and ranks among East Africa’s important early archaeological localities.
