Ol Oroka Ranges

The Ol Oroka massif standing at 2048m above sea level at its highest (Olesekut summit), is one of two mountains flanking the little town of Oltepesi, also known by the locals as Tinga, sitting on the floor of the Great Rift Valley at 1000m above sea level. The Maasai graze their herds of cattle on its slopes during dry seasons when pasture in the lowlands is exhausted, but for the most part, this hill is not habited.
