Namanga
Pocket-sized border town between Kenya and Tanzania, Namanga sits on the main route between Nairobi and Arusha, making it a common transit point for visitors heading to Amboseli National Park. Mount Kilimanjaro is visible to the south, and the Namanga Hills — known locally as Oldoinyo Orok — rise to the northwest. The local economy runs largely on tourism passing through the crossing.
