Located near the village of Dunga, it is a few kilometers South West of Kisumu town. The village also has a fishing port and a camping site. Enjoy a peaceful boat ride as you observe hippos and birds in their natural habitat or go out fishing and enjoy the scenery of Kisumu city straight from the deep.
