Kisumu City is a quiet port town on the shores of Lake Victoria with streets full of exquisite colonial architecture. Awarded City Status in 2001 Kisumu has grown into an attractive urban centre, with an excellent museum, one of Kenya's most famous open markets and excellent facilities for visitors.
Located a kilometre from Kisumu’s central business district is the Kisumu Impala Sanctuary a walking sanctuary and holding area for animals which require special protection in this densely populated area.
Within the sanctuary is an animal orphanage that contains a collection of caged lions, leopard, cheetahs, baboons, hyena, jackals, bush duikers, bushbuck and buffaloes.
To the south of Kisumu City, fishing villages line Lake Victoria towards the broad waters of Homa Bay. This area is home to Ruma National Park, a small but attractive park with many unique species.
The best way to appreciate the beauty of this region is on the lake itself. The sun shines brightly, and gentle breezes rise from the water.
In trees along the shore, Fish Eagles call to each other with long haunting cries. Sunsets turn the water to gold, as local fishers in their canoes pull in their nets and slowly turn for home.
When you stay at Acacia Premier Hotel in Kisumu, you'll be on a lake, just steps from Lake Victoria and a 1-minute drive from The West End Shopping Mall. This 4.5-star hotel is 1.1 km from Kisumu...
