Kit Mikayi is a breathtaking rock formation located in the town of Maseno. The name "Kit Mikayi" means "the stone of the first wife" in the Luo language, and it is believed to have been named after a legendary woman who turned into a stone after being denied the opportunity to marry her true love.
The rock formation is made up of three large rocks that stand tall and majestic, towering over the surrounding landscape. The rocks are said to be over 20 million years old and are made up of granite and mica. The largest rock is about 70 feet high and has a flat top that offers stunning views of the surrounding area.
The rocks are surrounded by lush green vegetation and are home to a variety of bird species, making it a popular spot for birdwatchers. Visitors can also explore the caves and crevices that are found within the rocks, which are said to have been used as hiding places during times of war.
The local community considers Kit Mikayi to be a sacred site and it is often used for traditional ceremonies and rituals. Visitors are encouraged to respect the cultural significance of the site and to dress modestly when visiting.
Overall, Kit Mikayi is a unique and awe-inspiring natural wonder that is definitely worth a visit for anyone traveling to Maseno.
