A place to relax in Iten.
Kerio View sits on the lip of the Elgeyo Marakwet escarpment, close to Iten town - the global capital of running. Come for the running, the paragliding, or simply the view over the Kerio Valley.
A variety of accommodation
All with African-themed decor, but all the modern conveniences you would expect - including WIFI.
A main meal or just a snack
The restaurant is open and ready to serve you for 15 hours of every day.
World Champ or fitness fanatic?
It doesn't matter. Our gym is used by all. Don't be surprised if the guy on the adjacent machine has a few Olympic golds.
Following the thermals
Kerio View is the centre for paragliding on the escarpment, with the only officially recognised landing ground in the region.
Timber and natural stones.
Much of the main building of Kerio View is constructed from timber and natural stones. The restaurant has two levels, and the upper deck has a slight edge when it comes to panoramic views over the Valley.
The views are always changing and interesting; but sunrise breakfasts can be very special indeed - sometimes stunning.

Rated 4.2 out of 5, and #1 in Iten.
It has a soul. From the moment you walk in, you feel it. The staff make you feel less like guests and more like old friends returning home. It is not simply somewhere to stay. It is somewhere to belong.
Lovely setting, helpful and friendly owner and staff, will go back in a flash! All the food was great, varied and fresh. Great views over the Rift Valley. Beautiful well kept peaceful gardens. I understand why elite athletes want to come here to train.
It started raining heavily, and the cold became unbearable. Out of the blue, one of the hotel staff knocked on my door with a smile, kettle, cup, and teabags. It's great to have a hotel that takes such good care of its guests!
Full board really well organized. Staff hardworking and a pleasure. Owner very attentive to customer satisfaction. Lots of top athletes staying in hotel. Relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful views. Nice gym.
This place is known for one thing and that is the spectacular views! The restaurant also has a great view while you enjoy your meals. The food was excellent. Definitely should be in your bucket list for places to visit in Kenya.
Lovely staff, clean rooms, cosy restaurant. The food is surprisingly good and everything is very well priced. We stayed here for 7 days for a work trip and it was very suitable for our stay. The views are to die for!
The global capital of running.
Kerio View is close to Iten town, which the IAAF recognised as a "World Sports Heritage Site". This is due to the multitude of Olympians and World champions, literally hundreds, that have lived and trained in Iten and its environs. Many of them are frequent visitors to Kerio View.
One should not believe that Kerio View and Iten are just for the super sportsman. This is absolutely not the case. Most visiting runners are here just for pleasure and to expand their horizons.
