About

Discover Lake Victoria’s Haven for Wildlife and Scenic Bird Watching

Ndere Island National Park is an island haven covered mostly in grassland, widely known for its rich avian fauna, including the African fish eagle, and a small population of introduced wildlife like impalas and monitor lizards. Located just off the northern shore of Lake Victoria, west of Kisumu, the journey involves a drive to the lakeside town of Kaloka or the Kisumu yacht club, followed by a scenic 20-to-45-minute boat ride over the fresh water.

Once on the island, you can explore well-maintained walking trails that offer panoramic viewpoints of the expansive lake, Homa Hills, and nearby Mageta Island. Guided by knowledgeable rangers, you will learn about the local ecosystem, spot crocodiles along the shoreline, and capture stunning landscape photographs. Optional experiences include peaceful boat cruises, traditional fishing encounters, and cultural stops at local villages along the gulf.

Whether you’re a bird enthusiast, nature seeker, or looking for a tranquil escape from the city, this flexible day or multi-day tour offers one of western Kenya’s most refreshing lakeside excursions.

I just completed a 22-day trip through Madagascar, including Morondaba, Tsingy, Belo Sur, Ifaty, Ranohira, Ranomafana, and the Pangalanes Channel, among other places. The overall experience was good, except for a minor initial disagreement regarding the agreed-upon price and some unexpected hotel changes. Communication with them is always quick and easy, and the payment method is secure. A special mention goes to our driver and guide, Antsa, a true gem. Besides being an excellent driver, he was always kind, friendly, helpful, and committed to making everything easier.

The tour was interesting, and the driver was good. However, we feel the travel agency should have informed us in advance about the guides who wait at the park entrances and accompany tourists to geysers and waterfalls. The booking confirmation made no mention of this at all; it only stated that park entrance fees, food, and drinks were not included. When we have no idea how much the guide’s services will cost, we don't know how much cash to bring, since credit cards aren't accepted in places like that.
