Kisii County, Administrative county in southwestern Kenya
This county is an administrative region in southwestern Kenya covering about 1,300 square kilometers. The area stretches across hilly landscapes and is served by a road network extending over 1,100 kilometers.
This county was created in 2013 as part of Kenya's administrative reform that divided the country into 47 new regions. This restructuring gave local communities more control over their own affairs.
The Abagusii people are the main inhabitants and shape daily life through their traditions and way of living. You notice their craftsmanship, building styles, and community practices throughout the nine electoral constituencies of the region.
The region operates 168 health facilities including a main hospital for serious medical needs. Visitors should expect variable road conditions and plan their travel accordingly using local transport options.
The area is marked by several high mountains whose peaks rise prominently above the landscape. These elevated terrain features influence the climate and farming practices across the region.
