Given its abundance of natural attractions, from parks and mountains to beaches, Kenya has become a popular destination. Taveta is located approximately halfway between Nairobi and Mombasa, close to the Tanzanian border and within the Tsavo West National Park. Nearby Mount Kilimanjaro, vast grassy plains and volcanic hills make this town an ideal starting point for adventurers of all kinds. Kayak on the tranquil waters of Lake Chala, a crater lake fed by the mountain’s melting snow. Or, hike on the nature trails at the Chyulu Hills surrounded by grassland and endless sky. For a change of scenery, visit the busy market in town.
