Kakamega Travel Guide

Kenya

Kakamega is a city of around 63,000 people in western Kenya. It sits close to the equator and serves as a regional urban centre in the country’s western interior.

Travellers arriving by air can use Kakamega Airport (GGM). Kakamega is inland, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so it is better suited to an inland Kenya itinerary than a beach holiday.
