Kenya Wild Safari

Covering an area approximately 67,483 sq km, Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world, shared by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. In fact, Kenya owns only a small 3,785 sq km corner of the lake. Located in the south-western Kenya, Lake Victoria is known for its spectacular natural beauty, amazing fish and bird life, and exciting range of watersports. Numerous fishing villages around the lake also promise to offer a perfect opportunity to get an insight into the traditional lifestyle of the lake fishermen. Lake Victoria is quite rich in fish life, with shimmering shoals of colorful cichlids and large Nile Perch. The Nile Perch, which is considered a world-class game fish, attract thousands of fishing enthusiasts to the shores of the lake.

There are a number of fishing reserves and lodges around the shores and on islands within Victoria. The region is home to Luo tribe, known for their formidable fishing skills. Local villagers provide exciting canoe tours to explore its scenic beauty and unique wildlife. Visitors can see hippos and an amazing variety of birds, including the Blue-breasted Bee-eaters, Swamp Flycatchers, Warblers, Papyrus Gonoleks, Red-chested Sunbirds, Red-headed Queleas, and many species of Weavers. Other tourist attractions around Lake Victoria include the fascinating port town of Kisumu- known for its wide streets and fine colonial architecture, Mfangano Island- famous for its obscure rock paintings, and the tiny (4 sq. km.) but picturesque Ndere Island National Park- rich in snakes, hippos, crocodiles, and numerous species of water birds.
