Sights and Activities
Kitui got lot to offer, but it may be a bit difficult for tourists to find these, if not shown by locals. The roads are poorly signed, and directions given may be difficult to follow. Especially since you mostly need to double the travel-time and distance they approx.
Nzambani Rock is the premium scenic tourist attraction in Kitui. Situated about 20 minutes drive from the town (more in the rain season) it is truly a special sight. In the middle of the relatively flat landscape, suddenly the 60 feet tall rock is rising from the ground. To reach the top, it was built a staircase some years ago. There is a small fee to enter the staircase, which can be bought at the Nzambani Rock parking lot office for 100/200 KSH (Kenyans) or 200/400 KSH (foreigners) for children/adults. The prices can vary a bit with the season.
In addition, Kitui is a district with strong culture and a rich history. Therefore there are many traditional dance groups, whom all appreciate visitors. If you contact them and ask for a dance show or even a lesson, for a small fee they'd be happy to welcome you into their home. Visiting schools, orphanages or even the university can also be an experience, and as hospital as the Kitui people are – if you ask, you're most likely to be welcomed.
