Think Safari EXPERIENCE MAKUENI

The Pride of Mbooni

Editor’s Note

Every traveler will tell you that the part of the journey they enjoyed the most, the one they easily recall and mention often as the most memorable part was how travelling took them to experiences far from the familiar, and brought them into new discovery, new experiences and deeply satisfying exploration.

Devolution is without doubt one of the best administrative policy changes that happened in Kenya with 2010 Constitution dispensation. Travelling through Makueni County in South Eastern Kenya reveals the devolved unit is brilliantly tapping into its tourism potential; through visible, gradual investments on its people and tourism facilities, as Think Safari magazine witnessed while exploring the length and breadth of Makueni; from Malili near Konza to Tsavo West and Mbooni Hills.

In this edition, we take you on a journey through Makueni County, deep inside some of its finest facilities and share insights from those leading these efforts from the frontline; while also highlighting why you must exhibit at the upcoming Africa Travel and Tourism Expo at the KICC in August 2023.
