The Western Circuit

The Western Kenya Tourism Circuit is a culturally rich and ecologically diverse region covering Kisumu, Kakamega, Vihiga, Bungoma, Busia, and Siaya counties. Centered around the scenic Lake Victoria Basin, it offers attractions such as Kisumu Impala Sanctuary, Ndere Island National Park, and the Kakamega Forest, Kenya’s only tropical rainforest. The region is also steeped in history and tradition, with sites like Uhuru Gardens, Kit Mikayi, and vibrant local festivals celebrating Luo and Luhya cultures. Known for its warm hospitality and authentic rural experiences, the Western Circuit promotes eco-tourism, cultural heritage, and agri-tourism, positioning it as an emerging destination for travelers seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences in Kenya.
