Timboroa

Timboroa (also Timbaroa and Tomborou) is a small town in Baringo County, Kenya.

The region is home to a number of notable athletes, both male and female, including Bernard Barmasai.

[citation needed] The town is administered from Mumberes Division of Koibatek District in the former Rift Valley Province and Eldama Ravine Subcounty of Baringo County.

[citation needed] It acquired its name from Kalenjin word Tim-boroowon which literally means 'a forest full of long ropes', which is the case since Timboroa has a thick bamboo forest with natural trees straddled with climbers.

[citation needed] The Timboroa television and FM radio station broadcasts from the mountain to the south of the town.
