Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary (CS) Rebecca Miano has pledged the government's commitment to support wildlife tourism in Baringo County.
Miano made the pledge during the 2025 Celebrations of World UN Wildlife Day at Kiborgoch Conservancy grounds in Baringo South, where she noted that the region is endowed with rich biodiversity, which needs to be tapped.
The CS mentioned unique terrains, lakes, wildlife species, nature trails and culture, which she said puts Baringo ahead of other counties in Kenya.
She stated that the region in the past was not opened up properly for tourism activities but her ministry has begun to put a special focus on supporting the sector, which will in turn boost economies and support the local communities. "To me, Baringo is very endowed; it's like the gift shop that God gave Kenya and the world for people to visit and see its wonderful creation," Miano said.
