Kalamba

Kalamba is a town in Makueni Constituency in Makueni County, Kenya. It began as a mission station of the Africa Inland Mission, started in 1895 by the Scottish missionary Peter Cameron Scott, who had been sent from America. Scott built the first house, measuring 30 feet by 14 feet, which was completed on 23 December 1895, and within seven months he had also established mission stations at Sakai, Kilungu and Kangundo. He died here on 4 December 1896, and his final resting place is at Kalamba. The site is regarded as the origin of the Africa Inland Church in Kenya and is a historical destination for that reason. Kalamba also has a reputation among climbers as a rock climbers paradise.
