HISTORY & NAMING OF SLEEPING WARRIOR

The hills obtain their names from their resemblance to specific objects. Sleeping Warrior Hill looks like a man lying down on his back. Some locals believe it is the bust of the late, great Maasai warrior. The famous Oloibon. Similarly, others believe it is the figure of the late Lord Delamere. The late Lord Delamere was one of the first settlers in Kenya. Sleeping Warrior hill is about 2200 Metres Asl. 

On the other hand, Ugali Hill resembles the traditional Kenyan maize flour meal, Ugali. The Horse Shoe Crater is another name for Ugali hill.
