Kakamega County

Kakamega County spans over 3,033 square kilometers and features rolling hills, dense forests, and agricultural lands bordering six neighboring counties.

The county emerged in March 2013 following Kenya's constitutional reform, transforming from a district into an autonomous administrative division with local governance.

The Luhya community maintains agricultural traditions centered on maize cultivation, producing staple foods like ugali and engaging in traditional music performances.

The region contains 1,136 primary schools, 408 secondary institutions, and multiple healthcare facilities, including a central referral hospital serving the population.

The Kakamega Forest represents Kenya's last remaining rainforest, containing over 400 bird species and diverse flora within its protected boundaries.
