Ruma National Park

Reviewed By 748janeh - Auckland Central, New Zealand

A stunning, tranquil campsite with a beautiful view to take in the African sunrises and sunsets. The park was easy to get to from Homa Bay. Inside the park, the roads were variable but efforts were being made to upgrade the surfaces. Wildlife was stunning - we saw 5 rhinos together, giraffe, beautiful birds, topi and zebra, amongst others, as well as the elusive Roan Antelope. We got to enjoy this beautiful park all by ourselves, with virtually no other visitors for the 4 days and 3 nights we were there. It is also the only KWS park we have visited with a guide book, although not all the roads are accurately marked on the map. An absolute bargain on current KWS rates.

Lake Simbi Nyaima

Reviewed By EnricahDulo - Nairobi, Kenya

We passed by here briefly during a work trip to Homa bay. It wasn't my first trip, however, it had taken years since my last visit. We drove round the lake. Paid a guide to share the narrative or myth about the Lake. It a great place to visit, especially with small children so that they can learn a bit about culture and history. Simbi Nyaima is less that 5 minutes drive from Homa bay - Kendu bay road. You branch off at River Kibuon, opp. Obama Road.

Ndere Island National Park

Reviewed By GreatHorizonTrails - Nairobi, Kenya

Ndere means ‘Meeting Place’ in the dialect of the local Luo tribe. According to Luo folklore, Mikayi - the mother of the tribe, rested up near Ndere after her long journey South Down the Nile Valley. She found thelush shoreline so pleasing that she and her people stayed. Ndere Island is home to a variety of birds including Fish Eagles and a dense population of Swifts. Hippos and Crocodiles, including the lesser known Spotted Crocodiles, are a familiar sight. Impalas have been introduced to the woodland which fringes the shores. Attractions include hiking, walking.
