About The Hyrax Hill Museum

The Hyrax Hill Museum, located near Nakuru in Kenya's Rift Valley, is a fascinating archaeological site and museum that offers visitors a glimpse into the prehistoric past of East Africa. Situated atop a hill overlooking Lake Nakuru, the museum is named after the hyrax, a small mammal whose fossils were discovered in the area alongside stone tools and other artifacts dating back over 3,000 years. The museum's exhibits showcase the rich cultural heritage and ancient civilizations that once thrived in the region, including the early hunter-gatherer communities, pastoralists, and iron-age settlers who left behind a legacy of stone-built enclosures, pottery, and artifacts. Visitors to the Hyrax Hill Museum can explore the archaeological site, view the excavated remains, and learn about the archaeological research and discoveries that have shed light on the prehistoric peoples of Kenya's Rift Valley.

Hyrax Hill Museum

The Hyrax Hill Museum is open to visitors throughout the year, with operating hours from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily. The museum is best visited during the morning or late afternoon hours when the weather is mild, and the lighting is optimal for viewing the exhibits and exploring the outdoor archaeological site. Weekdays tend to be less crowded than weekends, making them ideal for a quieter and more immersive museum experience.

Entry Fee

There is a nominal entry fee to access the Hyrax Hill Museum, which helps support the maintenance and conservation of the archaeological site and museum exhibits. The fee may vary depending on age, nationality, and any additional amenities or services offered, such as guided tours or educational programs. Visitors are encouraged to check the official website or contact the museum directly for updated information on entry fees and any discounts or promotions available.

Time Required for Travel

Traveling to the Hyrax Hill Museum from Nakuru's city center is relatively easy, as it is located just a short distance away, approximately 4 kilometers from the town center. The museum is easily accessible by car, taxi, or public transportation, with designated parking available for those driving. The travel time may vary depending on traffic conditions and the route taken but typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes. Once at the museum, visitors should plan to spend at least an hour or two exploring the exhibits and archaeological site, although those with a keen interest in archaeology and history may choose to spend longer.

Traveling Tips

Before visiting the Hyrax Hill Museum, it's advisable to check the weather forecast and plan your trip accordingly, especially if you plan to explore the outdoor archaeological site. Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress in layers to accommodate changes in temperature throughout the day. Bring along a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of drinking water to stay hydrated, especially during hot and sunny weather. Consider bringing a camera or smartphone to capture photos of the museum exhibits and scenic views from the hilltop overlooking Lake Nakuru. Lastly, respect the archaeological site and museum artifacts by following any rules or guidelines provided by the museum staff and refraining from touching or removing any objects.
