Western Kenya Safaris, Lake
Victoria Safaris
The Western part of Kenya has numerous attractions; the countryside
is beautiful with rolling hills, green bushes of vast tea plantations
and indian corn(maize). In the far West is Lake Victoria, Africa's
largest fresh water inland sea, with the city of Kisumu on its
shores with tempting possibilities of many activities including
cultural tours, ecotourism trips, walking adventures and homestays.
South of Kisumu are the islands of Takawiri, Rusinga and Mfangano,
including the famous ruins of Thim Lich Ohinga. To the north of
this centrally located city in Western Kenya is the only remaining
tropical forest - The Kakamega forest with its lush botanical
richness and abundant wildlife. Still from Kisumu City one can
visit the National parks of Mt Elgon and Saiwa Swamp, and further
north are the picturesque Cherangani hills, with wonderful panoramic
views of the Kerio Valley far below. Busia and Malaba are the
gateways to Uganda and Isebania sits on the Tanzanian Border.
This makes this place ideal for combining trips to these neighboring
East Africa countries that are also rich in wildlife, cultural
and scenic attractions.
