Kitui

Kitui is a town in Kenya, 180 kilometers east of Nairobi and 105 kilometers east of Machakos. It used to be the capital of the Kitui District in Eastern Province of Kenya. Due to political reforms, Kitui is now the headquarters of Kitui County, which covers a larger area than the former district did. As a consequence, the city has become a natural meeting point for politicians and businessmen. And most of the hotels are therefore expanding.

Located at -1.36667, 38.0167 (Lat. / Lng.), about 0 miles away.
