Kakamega Attractions

Kakamega is located north of Kisumu on the A1 Highway. Kakamega is the base for trips into the Kakamega Forest Reserve where travelers can sleep over or stock up before heading out. The nearby Kakamega Forest is famous for its diverse bird and insect life.

South of Kakamega is the Crying Stone of Ilesi. This formation consists of a large boulder balanced on a column of rock with water flowing from a groove in the middle. Local residents are keen to show travelers the way and share some of the legend behind this local curiosity.
