Start at the lively Mto wa Mbu market and wander under the Great Rift Valley wall through a patchwork of farms. Learn how canals keep fields green year-round, walk past banana blocks with 30+ varieties (including red bananas), and—when in season—see sunflower fields glowing against the escarpment. Along the way, glimpse everyday life at milling machines, neighborhood shops, and craft stalls in a town renowned for its 130+ tribes.
