Trade the highland air for the tropical breeze of the Winam Gulf. Your journey begins with a convenient 45-minute flight into Kisumu, where you will be greeted by the modern luxury of the Acacia Premier Hotel. Your first day is immersed in the rich culture and nature of the lakeside city, from the legendary boulders of Kit Mikayi to the lakeside wildlife at the Impala Sanctuary.
The highlight of this tour is a private retreat to Takawiri Island Victoria Sands Lodge. Nestled on a secluded island with genuine white sandy beaches and towering palm trees, Takawiri offers an atmosphere often compared to the coast, but with the calm, fresh waters of Lake Victoria. Spend two nights on a full-board basis, enjoying the finest Nilotic cuisine, breathtaking sunsets, and the peaceful rhythm of island life. With Stejos Tours and Travel, every transfer—from the airport to the speed boat—is seamlessly coordinated for your comfort.
