Practical Q&A

How do I get to Kakamega from Nairobi?

By road it's ~400 km / ~7 hours NW via Nakuru/Eldoret (buses and matatus run this route). Faster: fly Nairobi–Kisumu (~1 hr, several daily airlines) then drive ~50 km / ~1 hr to Kakamega. A small Kakamega airstrip has only occasional scheduled flights — verify before relying on it.
