There are two raods that go to Naivasha from Nairobi. One goes down alongside the escarpment, and one goes up towards Naivasha town. The "truck" road going down the escarpment is shorter in distance but after Maai Mahiu town (first town down the hill), there are huge potholes on the road going towards Naivasha Lake. The other road, the A104 uplands, is longer in distance but in very good state as it is not used by container truck. Distance from Nairobi to Naivasha is 90km.
