Getting to Rutundu log Cabins By Road
Rutundu Log Cabins can be reached by turning off the main Nanyuki – Isiolo road up to the log cabins, a four-wheel drive vehicle is needed, and the drive should take about 1.5 hours. The road deteriorates somewhat from the hollow trees onwards; the trees are a good half way mark in terms of time. The road ends at the Kizita gorge, where you leave your vehicle.
From here to the cabins is a 15-minute, challenging walk through the gorge. The staff will meet you where the road ends and will carry your luggage to the cabins.
