Trade the Nairobi traffic for a 45-minute flight to the lakeside city of Kisumu. This Stejos Tours and Travel signature package starts with a deep dive into the heritage of the Lake Region. You will visit the legendary "Crying Stones" of Kit Mikayi, explore the Impala Sanctuary, and enjoy the sunset over the Winam Gulf.

The adventure then moves to the water. A private speed boat whisk you away across the expansive Lake Victoria to Takawiri Island Victoria Sands Lodge. Famous for its rare white sandy beaches and palm trees, Takawiri feels more like the Indian Ocean than a freshwater lake. Here, you will enjoy two nights of total seclusion on a full-board basis. Whether you want to try your hand at sport fishing, kayak through the reeds, or simply watch the dhows go by, this is Western Kenya’s ultimate hidden gem.
