Where is lake victoria?

This may sound unbelievable to some but yes,i ask again where is lake victoria? The lake is so large you can see it from space,that is how large it is. Now go to Kisumu and try finding the lake...i mean try getting to the shores of the lake. Let me walk you through this....the few places one can actually reach the shores are:

  • former hippo point,next to dunga water intake station
  • kisumu yatch club
  • impala park
  • sunset hotel
  • state lodge
  • kenya railways yard and station
  • railways dockyard
  • hindu crematorium
  • muslim cemetery
  • nyanza golf club
  • kisumu beach resort

My point is,all the establishments mentioned above together hoard miles of beachfront property locking out members of the public who know the world's second largest lake is at their doorstep. All over the world towns and cities that are on the shores of a large waterbody have their most developed and beautiful faces and facilities at the shores of the water body....not so for Kisumu...why? Let us lobby our government and leaders to open up the lake for recreation and business....let us enjoy the lake as it is part and parcel of Kisumu....the business and recreational potential of the lake are almost boundless yet we have not even began exploiting this God given resource....OPEN UP THE LAKE VICTORIA YE PEOPLE OF KISUMU!
