Kisumu

Kisumu is Kenya's third largest city and is the center of western Kenya. It feels more like Mombasa than Nairobi, being hot and humid, where locals move about their business at a leisurely pace. Like any big city, there’s a wide range of accommodations suitable for any budget. There are several attractions in town, such as the huge market near the bus stage were you can get cheap soapstone carvings, and Hippo Point where you can watch the sun set on Lake Victoria. For more information on the lake and its sights, see the Lakes section.

There are so many internet cafes in Kisumu, Kisumu is popular for Fish (Tilpia) eating along the lake. The people are friendly, the impala park also offers a good attraction site. Kisumu is famouse for its benga music.
