Summary:
This documentary takes listeners to the heart of Eldoret’s renowned “Mountain of Love,” or Ol Donyo Mayana, a beloved natural landmark near Kapsoya estate, just 3 kilometers from Eldoret’s city center. Rising to 2,100 meters, the mountain offers stunning panoramic views of the city and surrounding landscapes, drawing both locals and visitors seeking tranquility, beauty, and recreation.
Historically, Eldoret grew from a modest trading post to the vibrant “City of Champions,” a hub for athletes and agriculture.

It’s a hotspot for outdoor gatherings, from picnics to church retreats, and has become especially popular for couples and families on weekends.
