The population of Kericho is a mere 30,023, a far cry from the bustling metropolises many Westerners envision. While the town boasts a cool, temperate climate ideal for agriculture, the region is also known for its frequent hailstorms - up to 50 days per year. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with Kericho serving as the administrative headquarters of an entire county. Overall, this sleepy tea-producing town is best suited for those seeking a quiet, rural lifestyle, not the fast-paced excitement of a major Kenyan city.
