Elgeyo-Marakwet's Kerio Valley escarpment is one of the most dramatic landscapes in Kenya and draws a small but interesting crowd of cyclists, hikers, and researchers. The communities here are Keiyo and Marakwet, with a strong athletic tradition similar to the neighboring Nandi. An unusual choice that rewards adventurous types.

Elgeyo-Marakwet is a scenic but remote county with limited social infrastructure. The valley towns are small and the social environment is entirely local.
Lower score (below 6)
Remote and underdeveloped by Kenyan standards — no realistic social entry points for foreign men outside of organized adventure tourism.
