Kakamega forest that is home to variety of species

It’s a cool May afternoon and my adventurous friends Angela, Christine and I are looking for an affordable and fun getaway for the weekend. After asking around, we set off for Shinyalu in Kakamega.

When most people think about Kakamega, what comes to mind immediately is the Rondo retreat centre. Little known, however, are the new set of comfortable cottages and camp site within the Kakamega forest, just 55 km North of Kisumu and 415 km away from Nairobi via Nakuru and Kapsabet towns.
