Been burning the candle at both ends? Dying for a break and a few quiet nights? Kakamega might just be the ticket. It's set among the mountains, valleys and savannahs of Kenya — nice and not too touristy. (We bet you'll feel so relaxed, you'll be under the covers by sunset!)
It's situated 290 kilometres northwest of the nation's capital, Nairobi.
The comforting sounds of nature await you at Kakamega Forest. It lies just 13 kilometres away, so you needn't be on the road all day. Dunga Bay, 45 kilometres away, is another recommended choice.
Get a coffee to go and make your way to the Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology. When you've finished there, pay a visit to Muliro Gardens.
The close-by destinations of Kaimosi and Gisambai are worthy of your time. They're located 20 kilometres southeast and 25 kilometres south away, respectively. Hop in the car and see what's going on!
Let someone else take care of the details and enjoy mingling with fellow travellers on wildlife spotting tours and wildlife safaris.
It's hard to say just what you'll come across in the region's craft workshops, but you can be confident it'll be intriguing!
To really experience a destination is to sample the local food and drink, so get ready to nibble, gnaw, slurp and sip your way across Kenya. The only thing you need to take with you is a hearty appetite!
This part of the world has its own cuisine centred on traditional ingredients and local tastes. You'll discover potato and maize are commonly used in many of the meals.
Of course, you can't head home from Kakamega without sampling ugali (cornmeal) or irio (mashed peas and potato mix). Popular with residents and considered specialty dishes, they are an essential experience for anyone with an interest in food.
'Stressed' spelled backwards is 'desserts', and that's no coincidence. There's no tastier way to let your cares melt away than with chilled banana cream, a sweet treat often found on dinner tables here.
Want to get involved in the Independence Day celebrations? Mark the 12th of December on your calendar and get ready to let loose!
Seemingly endless security checkpoints, delayed flights and long lines. Airports are often very challenging places. Give yourself plenty of time to get to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO). Located 300 kilometres to the southeast, this is the nearest terminal.
