Hike up Mudanda Rock

This is your chance to get out of the car and take a hike – to the top of Mudanda Rock that is! This huge rock of 1.6 kilometres long dates back to the Stone Age, and is said to be a runway for the gods. The story goes that in the past, local tribes used it to dry their elephant meat (!). From its summit, you have a magnificent view of the Yatta Plateau (the most prolonged cooled lava flow in the world), the open savannah grasslands, the wildlife drinking from the water catchment below and the yellow baboons and vervet monkeys enjoying the sun on the rock itself.
