Overview
Explore the hidden gems of the lakeside city of Kisumu from its warm welcoming city to its quiet and less visited beaches. Kisumu offers more than just the beach experience, it offers culture, relaxation, and some of the best personal encounters from Kenya.
Highlights
Description
This is a short excursion within a day and enables you to see the attractions within Kisumu City. There are ethnographic exhibits and a display of the dominant Luo tribe, musical instruments, and their traditional culture at the Kisumu Museum, which is considered by many to be one of Kenya’s finest collections of the artifacts.
You will then be driven to Impala Park and animal orphanage and home to the rare Sitatunga antelope alongside an amazing birdlife.
The Kisumu Impala Wildlife Sanctuary was opened in 1992 with the intention of protecting a herd of impala and serving as a safe grazing ground for hippopotamus from the lakes. Spread over an area of less than 1sq km, this wildlife sanctuary acts as a holding point for problem animals like baboons, hyenas, and leopards, which can be seen at a close range.
You will then drive for lunch at Dunga beach followed by a boat ride to get a first-hand experience of the second largest freshwater lake in the world – Lake Victoria. Proceed to the Dunga Ecotourism boardwalk in the swamp where you can experience more birdlife especially the biome restricted and the papyrus endemics of Lake Victoria. We will later visit the fishing village where you will encounter the local anglers and fishmongers. You will get to interact with the anglers to learn the secrets of their trade, which is their lifeline for sustainability.
