Areas near Webuye include Lugulu, Milo, Maraka, Furoi, Lukusi, Lutacho and Misikhu. It is home to the Nabuyole Falls of Nzoia River. In Maraka, there exists the famed "mfunje" suspension bridge which consists of rickety timber strips joined with some metal wires, precariously dangling across River Nzoia. It attracts a considerable number of both local and foreign tourists who enjoy the thrill of crossing the river on the shaky locally made bridge.
