Welcome to Kakamega, my town and one of Kenya’s most underrated travel destinations! As a local tour guide, I love showing visitors the beauty, charm, and culture that make this place unforgettable. The jewel of Kakamega is the Kakamega Forest National Reserve, the only tropical rainforest in Kenya. It’s perfect for hiking, bird watching, and catching the sunrise from Lirhanda Hill, with monkeys and butterflies adding life to every walk. For adventure lovers, Buyangu Hill and Isiukhu Falls offer scenic trails, waterfalls, and peaceful picnic spots that capture the true spirit of nature.A visit to the legendary Crying Stone of Ilesi adds mystery to your trip , it’s a natural rock formation that appears to “weep” and holds deep cultural significance. History enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the Rosterman Gold Mines, a window into the region’s golden past. Back in town, the Kakamega Market bursts with color, local crafts, and delicious street food, while Muliro Gardens offers a relaxing green space for unwinding. For modern comfort, Golf Hotel and Cathedral Mall provide great food, coffee, and nightlife options.We will share experiences like the Hidden Kakamega Walk, Market to Meal cooking adventures, and cultural evenings with traditional Luhya music and storytelling. Always bring a rain jacket, a camera, and an open heart, Kakamega’s weather can surprise you, but so can its beauty. Join me and discover Kakamega not just as a tourist, but as a friend exploring a place full of life, warmth, and adventure. 🌿
