Kakamega is a town and county headquarters in western Kenya, the urban centre of Kakamega County, which has a population of roughly 1.9 million; the town itself is considerably smaller, while the county is one of Kenya's most densely populated. It runs on East Africa Time (EAT, UTC+3) year-round, as Kenya does not observe daylight saving. The town lies in a fertile, high-rainfall agricultural region and is best known as the gateway to the Kakamega Forest, the easternmost surviving remnant of the great Guineo-Congolian rainforest that once stretched across central Africa, and a protected reserve prized for its birdlife and biodiversity. Kakamega is the principal commercial and administrative centre for the Luhya-speaking population of Kenya's Western region.
