Kerio Valley
Kerio Valley or better - up in the Highlands of Kenya - here in this area you'll find many places to start - also ideal for beginners. The west side of Kerio Valley is the best part to fly (90% of the wind will come from east). Down to the bottom of the valley is a hight difference from about 1200 m. The ideal starting place is near the Hotel Kerio View! Altitude 2344m

Katelembo
Machakos is what the local pilots call this place--which is misleading since the site is nowhere near the larger range behind Machakos. A more appropriate name is Katalembo, or Mua Hills. In any case, launch consists of a small grassy area in the midst of a banana plantation. There is a large tree to the immediate left of take-off. The grassy area is maintained by the local farmer (his name sounded like, Pirsch). As of 2014 he asks 500 KSH for its use and to guard you car. In any case, he does maintain a lovely manicured patch of grass for launching on (very nice!). Altitude 2003m

Large take off area at the top of Kibini hill. The hill is conical shaped with flatland all around. Plenty of choice and only a few trees! Altitude 1819m
