Lake Kamnorak and Kerio Valley National Reserves are in a deep valley with semi-tropical vegetation on the slopes and dry bush at the base. The main attractions are crocodiles, elephants, beautiful landscapes and abundant bird life. Other wildlife found in the area includes bush pigs, waterbuck, buffalo, pelicans and grebes.

The Kerio River divides Lake Kamnarok and Kerio Valley Reserves. Lake Kamnarok is the easiest to access and there is a campsite beside the lake. Kerio Valley can be reached from Lake Kamnarok, in the dry season, but visitors must wade across a river north of the lake. Cheplooch Gorge is south of the reserves.
