Kisumu Travel Guide

 Squinchez Says:  So this is where the villagers around here get their water,theres no much to see here except the deep volcanic lake nearby which is steeped in myth. The story goes that an old lady was denied food and lodging by the residents of a village and in a fit of wrath she brought... 

 Squinchez Says:  Lake Victoria is the second largest fresh water lake in the world, and although Western Kenya does not attract many tourists and is blissfully free of safari minibuses, it is the most densely populated area in the country and the most productive. With gentle hills and...

 muguruki Says:  Possibly the best barber in East Africa! Not so much because of the quality of the haircuts although I was well happy with me trim, but the old boy in this gaff gives a really good head massage, all included in the price of the cut. I came floating out of the barbers after... 

 Mykke Says:  Although it isn't the best hotel in Kisumu, The Sunset Hotel has a feature that sets it apart for me. All of its rooms has a balcony view over Lake Victoria. I can never forget the super views of the eagles, the little fishing fleets, the thunderstorms and the sunsets. 

 valve Says:  I selected this hotel on arrival at Kissumu airport on 27th Dec and stayed four days . It is a little to south of the town centre in a pleasant neighbourhood of big private houses. It is easy to get a tuk tuk or or a motorbike into town for 50 shillings.it is about a 15... 

 muguruki Says:  Sooper is super, would head straight back there if I were going to Kisumu again. Only reason I ended up there was because Razbi's round the corner was full. Clean, efficient, reasonable price. Walking distance to all important things in Kisumu like a couple of good boozers!

 ckhasina Says:  Jumuia Kisumu offered the discerning leisure travel and a relaxed, comfortable environment with emphasis on quality and services. The resort offered convenient access to the major business centers in Nyanza Province and offered personlaized service. 

 Waxbag Says:  This place is located in a secure part of town, important because Kisumu has problems after dark. We could park our car out front without any problems. A night watchman watched it during the night. The rooms are clean ans spacious and come with linen and towels. The shared... 

 Squinchez Says:  Boda boda is the name given to the bicycles mainly used here as a means of transportation when getting around, upto the main small town its hard to get a car or a matatu. Thanks God the govt. has finally made a tarmac road, we hope now there will be buses plying this route
