Vanga: Kenya’s last town

Vanga is a small town with a population of about 10,000 people. It is located at the farthest end of Southeast Kenya. It is known as Kenya’s last town since the only place it neighbours is Tanzania and the Indian Ocean.

Here, the majority of the residents except for a few business people, are Muslim. This has made the small town in a fishing port stick to its tradition amidst a modern world where there is no church, bar, guest houses or lodging.

There are no supermarkets, shopping malls, banks or taxis as seen in most Kenyan towns.
