Kakamega forest and Kitale Museum
What to Expect
These days, visitors to the African wilderness areas want to do more than simply spot large game. To cater for this need, we have designed a three-day Kakamega forest and Kitale Museum tour which are located in western part of Kenya. The two places visited on this tour are bird watchers paradises with Kakamega forest having over 330 bird species recorded and unique wildlife. This will enable birding enthusiasts to identify a great variety of species of birds by sight and sound and to also learn about their biology and ecology. Kitale Museum is the first of the inland museums to be developed in Kenya, and it is home to many unique Africa artifacts and fossils. Visitors can explore the gallery of this historic place. The museum displays traditional Kenyan homes, weaponry, utensils and native musical instruments gathered from various tribes within Kenya and a nature trail that conserves various rare plants and animals.
