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... 

 Squinchez Says:  A few Km from my Village is the late 1st vice president of Kenya home now a museleum, He was a luo chief and a prominent figure in kenya struggle for independence. He later became an opposition leader and was put under house arrest after the failure of 1982 coup against... 

 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. 

 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! 

 rafikikenya Says:  Had a surprisingly pleasant, comfortable and cheap stay in Kisumu at mountain View resort. Very homely, nice staff and very ideal for family stay or people who like a quiet country side setting. Open grounds and rather cheap, paid only Kshs 1000 for bed and breakfast. Great... 

 ricro Says:  I locked my own and my friends' money/passports/ cameras and mp3 players in a drawer in room 33. I kept the drawer key in my pocket at all times. The room front door was locked and the balcony (key in inside lock). We discovered we had been robbed after the maid had cleaned... 

 Kaarina Says:  Sometimes we stayed in the Sunset Hotel in Kisumu. There were nice rooms and a lovely view over lake Victoria. In downstairs there were a restaurant, too. 

 Kaarina Says:  We (my husband and my son 6 years) spent many weekends in that club. Besides of the rooms there is a usual swimmingpool and area around that to sunbathe, a restaurant, a tennis field and so on... I liked the place mainly because I liked the rooms (we lived in one wholly blue... 

 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... 

 muguruki Says:  Good value Kenyan food in a town where a lot of the food is over priced compared to the rest of the country. Maharagwe! 

 muguruki Says:  Nothing special about this place apart from that there was a good view from the roof top bar. 

 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
