Hydrogeological survey, WRA permits, drilling, casing, test pumping and pump or solar installation in Baringo, delivered end to end by Dreamkings Limited.
Drilling a borehole in Baringo
Boreholes in Baringo are typically 80–200 m deep. A hydrogeological survey confirms the best drilling point and the expected depth and yield before any drilling starts.
Much of Baringo sits on volcanic rocks of the Rift Valley, where groundwater is held in fractured lavas, tuffs and old soil layers between lava flows. Yields are often good, but fluoride is common in Rift Valley aquifers, so the laboratory analysis decides whether the water needs treatment before drinking.
Our rigs mobilise from Nairobi, about 270 km from Baringo, and drilling rates here carry a 10% regional adjustment for terrain and logistics.
Dreamkings Limited handles the whole job: the survey, WRA drilling authorisation, drilling, casing and gravel pack, well development, test pumping, water quality analysis, and the pump, power and storage you choose.
We drill boreholes across Baringo County, including in Kabarnet, Eldama Ravine, Marigat, Mogotio and Chemolingot, for homes, farms, schools, estates and businesses.

How deep are boreholes in Baringo?

Do I need a permit to drill a borehole in Baringo?
Yes. Drilling needs Water Resources Authority (WRA) authorisation, backed by the survey report, and some sites also need NEMA or Baringo County approvals. We prepare and follow up the applications for you.
Which parts of Baringo do you drill in?
