Discover the folklore of the Crying Stone and the vibrant Kakamega town.
Highlights
Discover the mystery of the Crying Stone of Kakamega, a towering 40-meter natural rock formation located in Ilesi village, about 10 km from Kakamega town. The stone gets its name from a continuous stream of water that trickles down its face—giving the illusion that the rock is weeping.
Steeped in Luhya cultural beliefs, the Crying Stone is seen as a sacred site, often associated with rainmaking rituals and traditional ceremonies. The tour offers a mix of myth, nature, and local folklore, with scenic views of Kakamega’s rolling landscape. It’s an ideal stop for culture lovers, photographers, and anyone curious about Kenya’s lesser-known wonders.
