Driving west of Kisumu we had seen the sign to Ndere Park
and had wanted to visit. We knew we could not go to the island
but wondered what else was there.
So off we went one fine afternoon.
Twelve kilometers off the main road.
The route was beautiful.
HUGE boulders marked the way.
It looks like this one was sitting on the bush but on the other
side it was on the ground.
Rocks and more rocks.....
Homes amidst the rocks.
Mud homes with thatched roofs
Rutted roads and beautiful bushes and trees.
Finally we see the water.
Lake Victoria and
Along the beach many were working at different jobs.
Then we ti=urned into the Park.
Located across the street from the beach in a gated compound
We went into the building and learned about the island.
Visitors went to the island by way of a boat.
There are monkeys, baboon, antelope, and crocodiles on the island.
You can have an armed guard while you walk around the island.
More of the area as we left.
Notice the thatched roof homes hidden among the scenery.
Some of the roads were rather rough.
Here is a local church nestled between two HUGE boulders.
Coming into Kisumu we get a lovely view of Winam Gulf and the
city just beyond.
city just beyond.
