The Kenyan government has unveiled plans to transform the Great Rift Valley Viewpoint into a world-class tourism destination, with cable cars, upscale hotels and redesigned curio shops earmarked for the site along the Nairobi-Nakuru corridor.
Transport Cabinet Secretary (CS) Davis Chirchir disclosed the plans during an interview with Enock Sikolia, saying the cable car system would link the A8 and A8 South sections of the highway across the escarpment, allowing visitors to travel in suspended cabins with aerial views of the Great Rift Valley, Mount Longonot and the surrounding landscape.

Beyond the cable cars, the CS outlined intentions to overhaul the existing curio shops and open the site to private hotel investors.
The goal, he said, is to give visitors greater incentive to linger at the viewpoint rather than pass through without stopping.
