Kisumu

by Mykke - last update: Oct 1, 2002

Gabriel and his family
Kisumu is Kenyas third city after Nairobi and Mombassa. It is situated in the west of the country on Lake Victoria, and was founded/developed as a rail terminus for British military reasons (i.e. the transportation of troops to check German activity in Uganda in the 19th Century). I use it as a base to explore the Nyanza Distict, where the child that my wife sponsors lives.

Pros:"Quieter than Nairobi, less troublesome than Mombassa, All amenities available and the people are nicer!"
Cons:"Underfunded, underdeveloped, politically excluded, massive AIDS problem."
In A Nutshell:"My favourite city in Kenya."
