Londiani

Londiani is a town in Kericho County, Kenya. It is 49 km from Kericho, which is about a 50-minute drive. As of 2009, it had a total population of 44,953.

Londiani is located in the Kipkelion East Constituency between Nakuru and Kericho, off Nakuru-Eldoret highway about one hour drive from Nakuru town.

The town borders the Londiani Forest and contains a forestry station managed by the Kenya Forestry Service.

The Nairobi-Kisumu railway also passes through the town. The Londiani-Fort Ternan-Koru-Muhoroni (C35) road goes through Londiani enabling travel from Nakuru to Kisumu, without going through Kericho.

Londiani town lies approximately 2,325 m above sea level.

The town borders Mt. Londiani (2,848 m). This mountain is also referred to as Mount Kipsigis, Tuluap-Kipsigis by the locals and was called Mount Blackett by the British colonial authorities. The site was gazetted as a cultural heritage site of great significance to the Kipsigis community.

The British colonial authorities constructed a railway line passing through the town, from Nairobi to Kisumu.

There was also a sawmill near the town, called Mount Blackett Sawmills
