Bungoma County

Bungoma County lies in western Kenya along the Ugandan border, stretching from fertile farmland to the southern slopes of Mount Elgon. The mountain’s forests, caves and waterfalls support hiking and wildlife excursions through Mount Elgon National Park. Chetambe Fort recalls local resistance to British rule, while Nabuyole Falls and the rocky Sang’alo Hills are popular regional nature sites. Bungoma town is a busy agricultural and trading centre surrounded by maize, sugarcane and coffee farms. Visitors encounter Bukusu culture, lively markets and a green rural landscape, with road links to Kitale, Kakamega and Uganda.
