Package holiday to Kisumu

Kisumu is the third largest city in Kenya and is located on the northeastern shore of Lake Victoria — the largest lake in Africa and the second largest freshwater lake in the world. The city on the equator was historically the western terminus of the British Uganda Railway (Lunatic Express) and developed into a significant trading port.

The Kisumu Impala Sanctuary is located right on the outskirts by the lakeshore and offers a unique combination of wildlife observation and urban experience: Impalas, hippos, crocodiles, and over 100 bird species live in this small but fine reserve. From the waterfront promenade, you can watch hippos grazing at dusk.

Ndere Island in Lake Victoria is a national park accessible by boat from Kisumu: hippos, crocodiles, impalas, and a spectacular birdlife on an untouched island. The boat ride offers views of the fishing boats of the local Luo fishermen, who catch tilapia and Nile perch using traditional methods.

Kit Mikayi (Weeping Stone) is an impressive natural rock formation about 30 km west of the city: three balanced granite rocks that play a significant role in Luo mythology. The Dunga Wetlands on the lakeshore are a Ramsar protected area with papyrus swamps, rare bird species, and boat tours through the channels.

Kisumu particularly impresses with breathtaking nature. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
