It has been dubbed as the county of great opportunities. Taita Taveta boasts of the great Tsavo East and West National Parks that are home to a wide variety of wild animals including the big five.

County Executive in-charge of Tourism, Wildlife and Natural Resources, Alexander Kubo Mwangeka said the county is diversifying its tourism products to help attract more visitors. “We are keen to tap into sports tourism by attracting investors to set up training facilities as well as new hotels in places that have not been opened up to mass tourism,” he said.
