The house is separated from the access road by a 1000 square metre front garden containing private drive, car parking space and our caretaker cottage. Our gardens are well maintained, featuring mature palm trees. Our property is walled, gated, floodlit at night and protected by our two family dogs.
Throughout your stay you will be hosted by our able on-site manager Joseph, as well as our house caretaker Teresa. We provide all lodging services, including cleaning, linen, laundry and domestic delivery services free of charge. While we do not provide meals, our staff will be more than happy to prepare simple traditional Luo lakeside fare on request and against a market charge.
Kisumu, Kenya's third-largest city, projects a relaxed and charming tropical flair, that is refreshingly removed from the constraints and congestion more readily associated with larger urban areas in the region. As the preeminent commercial centre on the western lakeboard, Kisumu offers all day-to-day services, a range of tourism facilities, as well as friendly and outgoing people. The city centre hosts a variety of supermarkets and grocery shops providing for all culinary needs. The city market, with its colourful vegetable and fish stalls, is worth a particular visit. Our staff will be pleased to accompany and assist you on your shopping trips.
Along with restaurants, shoreside eateries and entertainment options suiting many tastes, Kisumu is home to the Impala sanctuary, a small inner city national park, giving a glimpse of the particular fauna and flora of the region. Kisumu’s 9-hole lakeside golf course is conveniently located 3 kilometres from Okolo House. Kisumu's airport is a short 15-minute drive away and offers daily connections to Nairobi, as well as two weekly connections to Mombasa.
We, Ngeso Okolo and Claudia Ramge Duro, would be pleased to open our home to you on your next visit to Western Kenya. For further information and advice in tailoring your stay, please do not hesitate to contact us.
