Day Trips
Two easy excursions from Opija — a morning on safari at Ruma National Park, or an afternoon taking in the sights, shores, and flavors of Kisumu.
Local Safari Experience to Ruma National Park
Spend the day in Kenya’s only sanctuary for the rare roan antelope, tucked into the Lambwe Valley. Guided game drives take you through open savanna and acacia woodland, home to giraffe, buffalo, and one of the country’s last strongholds for this endangered species.
Sightseeing in Kisumu
Take in the sights and sounds of Kenya’s third-largest city. Walk the City Center and its local landmarks, then head to Bongo Beach for a stretch of Lake Victoria waterfront. Browse local shopping alongside goods from major manufacturers, and sit down to a meal from Indian, Chinese, or Kenyan kitchens — vegan options included.
