Kenya is popular as a Tourist Destination for many.
Kenya is known for being the most visited country for wildlife tours and safaris among the five East Africa Countries now branded the East African Community. Kenya is known and is famous for wildebeest annual migration – The New 7th Wonder of the World which takes place between July and October, annually.
However, there are other parts in Kenya which are less visited by tourists but at the same time are more touristic than most visited tourists circuits. One among these is the West coast of Kenya – The Lake Victoria Gulf, which encompasses the Kisumu City, The Mbita and The Kendu Bay and Homa Bay areas, not to mention Kamito Beach, which is well-known for fishing and other excursions.
Victoria Safaris has since discovered this Virgin touristic circuit –
The West Coast of Kenya – The most visited in this region is the Mbita Area, which is now open for tourists who would want to do surfing, swimming, boat riding, bird watching and having an exclusive beach resort stay without beach boys. From Mbita Point we have the magnificent Lake Victoria Safari Village, which is a tourist resort owned and managed by a Norwegian by name Odd Bredo, who fell in love on his first visit, never to return to Norway, due to the natural resource, untapped virgin touristic circuit as others call it.
Activities
The area is also rich in bird life which are found on the two main islands from Mbita Point thus, Mholo and Mbasa Islands. These are the bird islands and on these islands, there are millions of birds of different species well admired by those who visit them. The view of these birds is by boat and clients are instructed not to step on the island due to conservation of the ecosystem, but view the same from their seats in the boats. The Mbita Lake Victoria Safari Village offers several rooms with luxurious accommodation facilities, fine cuisine which includes local and western dishes. Lake Victoria Safari Village has been chosen by Victoria Safaris to be its launch pad for the West Coast of Kenya activities.
Team Building & Corporate Incentive Programs
This place is also good for corporate team building activities, sport fishing the famous Tilapia and Nile perch, hippo hunting by camera, night fishing expeditions accompanied by local residents when they are fishing the famous “omena” which is the fingerlings caught by night using floating lanterns.
. Cultural visits can be arranged for those who want to enjoy cultural experiences without having a cultural shock.
These includes staying overnight amongst the inhabitants while sharing with them their daily chores. From this place, one can also visit the famous Abasuba Community Peace Museum on Mfangano Island which is famous for rock paintings. One can also visit the famous “Thimlich Ohinga” Heritage Site which is a cultural stone wall in the nearby where you will be told the folklore of why the rocks were arranged on line. Wildlife Safaris in West Coast of Kenya
From Mbita Point, tourists are able to access the famous Ruma National Park which is a few kilometers away. This park is famous for the endangered Roan Antelope which is found in this park alone in Kenya among other animals.
Daily luxury boat rides can be arranged by Victoria Safaris for the use of the only luxurious motorboat powered by 200 horsepower engine driven by none other than the owner of the Lake Victoria Safari Village. The Sandy Beaches
The West Coast of Kenya offers perfect honeymoon for honeymooners since the beaches are exclusive and not polluted. The sandy beaches have soft white sand better than what you see in Mombasa or other coastlines since the water of Lake Victoria is fresh and has no salt at all. Lake Victoria Safari Village Resort offers a magnificent honeymoon suite in its lighthouse facing the Lake shore and this offers a fantastic sunsets. The beaches have no beach boys as such safety is guaranteed. In other parts of this West Coast, the sandy beaches are cropped with the Palm Trees and in the neighborhood, you will locate the defunct Takawiri Island Resort which has not been in operation for about 10 years. At its shore, the sandy beach at this resort offers a fantastic walking and swimming experience.
Victoria Safaris Takes You There
A journey to the West Coast of Kenya starts from Kisumu City by road through to Ndori and consequently to Lwanda K’Otieno Beach where you will have to take the famous Mbita Ferry for 45 minutes before you reach Mbita Point. The other route by road is from Kisumu City past Katito Junction through to Kendu Bay then to Homa Bay and consequently to Rongo and then to Mbita Point. The former is fully tarmacked anew while the latter is under construction. For up-market clients, flights are taken from Nairobi, Masai Mara or elsewhere and the airstrips are at Mfangano Island and Rusinga Island. There are two luxury lodges in each of these 2 islands which can take the up-market clients. From Kisumu City, Dunga beach, one can take a boat ride across the Gulf to Mbita Point which offers a boat adventure trip. The trip takes at least 3 hours depending on the horsepower of the boat engine.
Visitors are urged to venture into this virgin tourist circuit for discovery. Victoria Safaris being an indigenous KATO member Tour Operator(DMC) offers trips to this area since we know it better.
