Kipsegon Ecosystem: A Calming Biosphere
Today, more than ever, ecological parks and secured rare habitats are becoming big attractions as more people seek new sustainable approaches to manage the environment. The 27-acre Kipsegon Ecosystem, at Nyangores, is a biosphere of amusing variety and peace. A walk here is akin to walking an unspoiled eden.
The floral diversity of Kipsegon Ecosystem, at the very edge of the South Mau National Reserve, comes to life as the local guides explain the traditional medical use or ecological function of almost every plant. Then, there are the abounding birds chirping an endless polyphony of tunes, the cool rural air, the streams, the bogs and forest patch. It offer a rewarding and candid encounter with nature.
To cap it all is the Kipsegon Cave, which locals claim ‘lighting’ lived in before it before it migrated to an unknown destination in the 1960s. To assist in protecting Kipsegon Ecosystem from anthropogenic activities, Bomet County set aside Shs. 19 million for its future. It is located 18 km from Bomet Town via the Bomet-Tenwek-Silibwet Road – through Silibwet, Tirgaga and Bondet – at Nyangores.
Around Kenya are to be found a hatful of delightful nature parks and sanctuaries, many of these being community initiatives to protect wildlife in their natural habitats. Fairly small in comparison to the national parks and reserves, they offer a more intimate exposure to the wild, to fully appreciate the local flora and fauna.
