More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You crest the ragged rim of Ol‑Njorowa Gorge on an electric bicycle and the landscape opens like a story with rough edges—pale volcanic cliffs cut by a river that seems to dare you to follow. Wind pushes at your jacket; scrub and acacia throw sharp shadows. As the ebike hums, you feel less like a tourist and more like a courier between geology and culture: rock towers, steaming vents hinted by distant turbines, and Maasai guides moving with the land.
