Kericho, Kenya

High score (8-10) · Your profile

Kericho is Kenya's tea capital and it carries that identity — neat, ordered, economically stable, with a population that has been exposed to the international tea industry for generations. The town has a quiet confidence and the social environment is more open to foreigners than you'd expect for its size. A genuinely pleasant place to spend a couple of days.

Mid score (6-8)

Kericho is a pleasant, orderly highland town but the social scene is limited and largely local. Tea company housing estates dominate and the community is somewhat closed. Fine as a stop, not a destination.

Lower score (below 6)
