Taita Taveta is located in southeastern Kenya, bordering Tanzania. It's known for its diverse landscape, which includes mountains, forests, grasslands and stunning wildlife. The area also has a rich cultural heritage that can be seen through its traditional dances, music and handicrafts.
In Taita Taveta is Tsavo East National Park - one of Africa's largest game reserves where visitors can experience breathtaking views while on safari drives watching elephants roam freely among other animals such as lions or giraffes. Another must-see attraction is Lake Jipe - an oasis surrounded by lush vegetation home to various bird species including flamingos.
For those interested in culture highlights there are several events throughout the year showcasing local traditions such as the Mwakinyungu festival held annually at Wundanyi town celebrating food and dance from different tribes found within the region.
Food lovers should try out some culinary specialties like Choma (barbeque) made from goat meat or samosas filled with spiced vegetables served alongside chutney sauce perfect for snacking on during long drives between attractions.
Outdoor enthusiasts have plenty of activities available depending on their interests; hiking Mount Kasigau offers panoramic views over both sides into Tanzania whereas rock climbing opportunities abound around Sagalla Hill just outside Voi town making it ideal spot if looking for something more adventurous!
The best season to visit depends on what activity you're interested in. We recommend visiting between June and October for safaris, and January to March better suited for trekking up mountain ranges combined with visits to waterfalls.
