Kenya Experience

We are Based at the High Altitude Training Centre (HATC) in Iten, Kenya.

Most international travellers arrive in Kenya via Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi. From there, you can take a domestic flight to Eldoret International Airport (EDL).

A member of our team will meet you at Eldoret Airport, and we will organise everything from that point onwards.

As a guest on The Kenya Experience, you’ll have access to the HATC's facilities, designed specifically to support endurance athletes during their stay in Iten.

Facilities include:

1. Gym – Equipped with free weights, machines, and cardio equipment for strength and conditioning work
2. 25-metre swimming pool – Ideal for recovery, cross-training, or simply relaxing after a run
3. 400m all-weather track – which we will use for some of our training sessions during the camp

5. Laundry service – Available on-site for a small fee
6. Massage and physiotherapy – Available on request (extra charges apply)
