Western Kenya is a little known world of wonders. Here you’ll find lush green highlands, tropical rainforests, and the great expanse of Lake Victoria.

If you are a keen fisherman, you’ll be able to try your luck with the mighty Nile Perch, but you’ll also find a wealth of cultural and historical attractions here.

The massive sacred stones of Kit Mikaye and Maragoli have great meaning for the Luo and Luhyah communities, while a more recent monument to history can be found at Tom Mboya’s mausoleum on Rusinga Island.

One of Kenya’s most exciting cultural events can be experienced at Kakamega, where the traditional bullfights create an unforgettable spectacle.

If you’d rather have less excitement, a hike through the world famous Kakamega forest will show nature at its most pure and peaceful.

The highlands of Kericho have beautiful tea plantations, quiet hill retreats, and beautiful traditional stone carvings at the Tabaka quarries in Kisii.
