Kericho

About

Kericho town, capital of Kericho County, is in the heart of Kenya’s countryside in the highlands west of the Rift Valley. It is famous nationally as being home to the best tea Kenya has to offer, with its many tea plantations and locals consuming typically 3 to 4 cups every day. Kerichos picturesque scenery makes the town a peaceful place to visit and a tranquil destination for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Visit the tea plantations for an insight into the local agricultural industry (some even let you see the factories!) and enjoy some of the finest tea you’ll taste. Surrounded by plantations is the Chagaik Botanic Gardens, a serene tropical jungle containing lots of lush vegetation and even the possibility of spotting monkeys and many forest birds. If you’re looking to wind down, Kericho is the place for you!
