Dan Western Kenya is often overlooked by mainstream travellers, despite being a treasure trove of natural beauty, spiritual heritage, and culture.
Top Attractions:
Kakamega Forest: The only tropical rainforest in Kenya, home to rare tree species, butterflies, and birds. Excellent for birdwatching and nature walks.
Ruma National Park (Homa Bay): Home to stunning savannah scenery and the endangered roan antelope.
Mount Elgon: It spans the Kenya-Uganda border and features waterfalls, caves, and beautiful trails. Not as crowded as Mount Kenya.
Lakeside Fun:
Lake Victoria (Kisumu side): Boat rides, Dunga Beach, and Hippo Point provide peaceful retreats. Enjoy fresh fish while watching sunsets by the lake.
Cultural Charm:
This is where the Teso, Suba, Luo, and Luhya people call home. You will come across genuine traditional foods like ugali and ingokho, as well as cultural festivals and traditional music that honours identity and community.
Travel Tips:
Western Kenya is very green and fertile, so expect a wet climate most months. Carry appropriate clothing and enjoy the region’s farm-to-table freshness.
