    Somewhat pricy spa with natural hot springs water. Olkaria geothermal spa consists of three cascaded lagoons that receive hot steam water piped from underground wells; the Lagoons are:
    Lagoon one: This is the receiving pond, it receives the hot brine from several wells and the brine is at temperature between 90 to 100 degrees centigrade.
    Lagoon two: This Lagoon overflows from lagoon one at a temperature of 50 degrees centigrade. The Lagoon is has both shallow and deep sides.
    Lagoon three: This is the largest of all the three lagoons with temperatures at 30 to 40 centigrade; the lagoon receives the overflow Lagoon two and the overpass from lagoon one. It’s at this lagoon that people swim in hot water; this Lagoon also has a section where children can swim. This Lagoon is made of concrete and mazera stones line the walk ways, its deep end is 1.5 metres
    This Lagoon can hold up to 400 people inside the Lagoon and outside the lagoon there are sitting and lounging facilities. Olkaria geothermal Spa opens at 7:00 am and closes at 6:00 pm daily, though it seemed closed on a Sunday.
