Shared by the 3 countries of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, Lake Victoria is the second widest fresh water lake in the world. The western part of Kenya that borders the lake is home to a vibrant fishing culture. Here you will encounter small fishing villages with tin-roofed huts, brightly painted traditional fishing boats lining the beach, and curious, friendly children.
The Kenyan part is the most beautiful of Lake Victoria’s shore, a picturesque contrast of towering, rolling hills and white sandy beaches with swaying palm trees that meet the shimmering expanse of the lake waters. The lake itself is a biological “hotspot”, with a great diversity of bird and fish species.
Enjoy relaxing days in beautiful scenic surroundings, discover the lake and its many islands on boat excursions and visit small fishing virtually untouched by tourism. If you feel adventurous, you may even hike along the ridges of the mountains rising from Lake Victoria and take in the stunning views from their peaks or join local Omena fishermen on their nightly fishing trips, a memorable experience that will help you to get close to an age old way of life.
