The Western Kenya Tourism Circuit Gets A Shot In The Arm
The government of Kenya has pledged to brand Kogelo village in western Kenya as a tourist destination.
Kogelo is the Kenyan village in which US President-elect Barrack Obama has ancestral roots.
Dubbed the Obama Route, Kogelo tours will be part of the western Kenya tourism circuit.
The main attractions in western Kenya include Lake Victoria, the source of River Nile, Mt Elgon and the dense Kakamega Forest.
Other attractions are Kit Mikaye, Ndere Island, Kisumu Impala Sancuary, Saiwa Swamp National Park and Ruma National Park. Photo caption: Kit Mikaye located near Kisumu, Kenya.
