This is a cosy self-catering flat situated on the second floor in a quiet family friendly neighbourhood. It is within walking distance to the town centre (if you enjoy walking). Otherwise, you can always use wasili cabs (downloadable on playstore), or a tuk tuk or motorbike at less than 1 USD.

I am a long time resident of Kakamega working within the County.

Kakamega town comes to life at around 5 am with children going to school, jua kali traders starting their 'hustle' and occasional joggers doing their morning runs. Kakamega forest and the crying stone are a must visit while you are here, if your time allows, around 20 minutes drive from the town centre. Note that the forest has several access gates. Kakamega is a small town with no traffic, you can therefore reach anywhere within town in around 10 minutes. If you'd like to hit the gym, Bodyflex Gym at Masinde Muliro University is decent and affordable. For a swim, Golf Hotel is good enough (although it can get crowded during the week) For food, you'll come across a restaurant at every corner within town, they are all over. For shopping, Khetias supermarket and Quickmart are on either side of the governor's office. Chandarana at Holden mall is towards Lurambi. On the way to Chandarana you'll also pass by the open air market where you can get an assortment of fresh groceries from vendors at affordable prices. While in Western, make a point of enjoying the variety of yummy traditional vegetables available....mrenda, seveve, nderema, dodo (the list is endless).
