It's a nice place to enjoy the sunset. You can charter a boat to watch the hippos at a price of around $10 in the afternoon. Bring your drinks and food along since the catering offers are limited.

I've lived in Kenya for 13 years now and love to mingle with local folk and watch them in their normal daily activities. My friend and I spent several hours at Dunga Beach a few days ago and thoroughly enjoyed our time. We got to watch the overnight fishermen bring in their catch of omena (small sardines) and small tilapia. They sold the fish from their boats to several lady vendors. We also had a cup of chai and delicious, warm mandazi from some ladies cooking outdoors over fire. And, finally, we had a great lunch of tilapia and nile perch.

Dunga Bay is still used today as a fishing point.However it is grossly underdeveloped.The roads leading to the bay are terrible (although not much of a surprise) but the bay itself doesn't have much to offer.

This is one of the most attractive wetland in Kisumu but is under developed. They are not tapping the full potential of this particular attraction.

I loved the view of the sun setting, the hippos playing in the water nearby and the good food offered at the nearby resort. I disliked the road leading from town to the resort which was dusty and a bit bumpy.

Took an impromptu boat ride into the lake and watched hippos from a safe distance. It's breathtaking to look at all the surrounding areas across the lake. And very captivating to be in the lake itself. But be careful to get a good rate from the guides...

I had the amazing opportunity to spent much of my 3 months in Kisumu with Ecofinder Kenya and DECCTA, two groups that operate from Dunga Beach. To find them, take the bumpy and unpaved road (piki-pikis are more comfortable than tuk-tuks on this road!) from the Impala Sanctuary right to the very, very end. You'll get to a gate for the Dunga Beach Management Unit, and through the gates see the buliding where Eco-Finder kenya is housed.I became good friends with many of the tour guides who offer boat trips from Dunga, and trust them immensely. They are all young men who have self trained as naturalists and are extremely committed to building and maintaining the ecological integrity of the area. After working with them on conservation projects for a few months, I opted for an early morning bird watching boat ride. For 2 hours, we saw beautiful birds, went by hippo point and spotted nearly 10 hippos, and then docked and walked back through the village of Dunga. Along the way, Sylus and Samuel told us stories of the history and traditional culture of the Luo people; described the fishing economy and the role of the fisherman's cooperative; we learned about the local habitat, how fish are caught, prepared and served, etc. It was a really beautiful morning. Alongside the boat tours, EcoFinder Kenya offers demonstrations of various technologies they are installing to help subsistence farmers (like verticle planting techniques and compost toilets). There's also a craft market with locally produced crafts, and an emphasis on making products out of waste materials. Particularly of note are the crocheted bags using polythene bags (made by a lovely woman named Millicent) and incredible woven baskets and products made from the invasive water hyacinth by John Steve. All in all, both my boat tour, and the few months spent often visiting and getting to know the community in Dunga was wonderful!
