Where are you going?

I'm often asked, "Where exactly are you going?" All I can say is Rusinga island is a land far, far away.

A flight from Chicago to Amsterdam? 7hrs
A flight from Amsterdam to Nairobi? 10hrs
A train from Nairobi to Kisumu? 12hrs
A car from Kisumu to Lwanda Koteino? 2hrs
Ferry from Lwanda Koteino to Mbita? 2hrs
A car from Mbita to Rusinga/KAGENO? 30mins
The entire journey? Timeless


Africa, Kenya's on the East coast borders: North: Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan. West: Uganda. South: Tanzania. East: Indian Ocean


Map of Kenya from Lonely Planet
Look in southern Kenya in the middle, you'll find Nairobi the capital. Then go West until you hit Lake Victoria and a bit North and you'll find Kisumu.
Rusinga and Mfangano are West of Kisumu in Lake Victoria
