Hyrax Hill Prehistoric Site
Nakuru
Open daily
Hyrax Hill is a genuine prehistoric site near Nakuru, where excavations have uncovered settlements, burial mounds and tools spanning thousands of years. A small museum displays the finds, and a short walk takes families over the hill past the dig sites with views toward Lake Nakuru. It brings ancient history vividly to life for school-age kids.
Good to know: Wear walking shoes and a hat — the site walk is short but exposed to the sun.
