Almost Missed It
Aug 2023 • Couples
Kind of a almost not there, but there it is suddenly. A sign and a bunch of souvenir shops trying to take advantage of those who notice the equator sign. Loved the “teacher” showing the difference in water directions; simple and effective.

Grab a unique photo and a carving all in one stop!
Oct 2022
The equator is cool and its fun to get a photo near the sign. But the real treat here are the souvenir shops. The prices and selections here are much better than in Nairobi. There is also less pressure once you get into a shop so its also a slightly more relaxing experience than in Nairobi or some other more popular places. If you spend enough time here the sellers will give you a little tour of the area out back where some of them do the carvings.

There really isn't much here but if you are passing by it can be fun to stand on the equator and have a photograph taken.

A good feeling
May 2022
It was surely exciting to stand on the equator line. Its just a stop over for few minutes and capture the moment.

Fun stop
Jul 2021
Probably a tourist trap, but fun to make a stop at anyway. You can get a certificate for USD6 and observe an experiment for a small fee. If you are heading to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, note that there is a less tacky sign at the Equator marker there. Given how badly hit the tourism sector has been, it does not hurt to stop at this marker and to lend the people trying to make a living out of the marker a bit of support.

Bringing geography to life
Dec 2020 • Family
There isnt really much to see at the equator point, but it provides a good photo opportunity and bringing to life lessons learned in geography. The Kenya Tourism Board has put in effort in making the area stand, there is space for parking for vehicles, shops selling souvenirs nearby and locals to demonstrate the equator experience.

A Good place to know more about the Equator
Jan 2020 • Solo
You get to see where the equator goes through Kenya at this point. It’s a great place to take pictures and make memories of how far you have traversed Kenya since it is quite far from Nairobi.

Easy 15 minute stop along the way to someplace else
Feb 2020
This is one of those places to get some photos, see some low-tech science experiment and enjoy the area. There are many equator markers throughout Kenya but this one is on the way to many Mt. Kenya stops, Ol-Pajeta, and the other conservancies in the area. It was fun, not too expensive, and a nice place for a photo. Don’t go out of your way to get there, there is only a sign and a photo op, you pay for the science experiment.
