Eldoret is a relatively safe city, especially during daylight hours. However, just like in any other city, caution is needed. It's recommended to avoid walking around alone at night and stay in crowded, well-lit areas. Try to get advice from locals or hotel staff about safe and unsafe areas to visit. Also, while incidents are not commonly reported, keep an eye on your belongings and avoid flaunting expensive items as petty crime can occur.
