If you like to travel by Air to and from Kisumu, you can take one of the daily flights from Kisumu Airport. These flights go mostly to Nairobi but many others fly to other Kenya cities.

A visit to Kisumu would not be complete without checking out the city’s attractions. Visit the Kibuye Market and buy kisumu’s unique foods and plentiful supply of fish.

If you love animals, visit the Kisumu Museum, which has a large aquarium housing mambas, spitting cobras, puff adders and other venomous Kenyan snakes.

This is also the place you can see Crocodiles of all types and watch their feeding sessions, an experience you will never forget.

There is also an impala sanctuary, a bird sanctuary and a Hippo sanctuary.

Another weird Kisumu attraction is the weeping Miyaki Rock, a mystical rock shaped like a weeping man. Legend has it that a man was dumped by his wife and was weeping for her to come back.

There are many high quality hotels in Kisumu. Some of the best ones are; Imperial Hotel, Sunset Hotel and Mountain View Resort all around kisumu town.
