Travel Guide Homa Bay

Homa Bay, located in a beautiful bay, is a lively little town, which lives mainly from fishing. The fish market, near the jetty, is a testament to its vitality. Don't miss the opportunity to go there and soak up the atmosphere. The town and its namesake bay are located on the southern shore of the Gulf of Winam on Lake Victoria, near Mount Homa ("Got Marahuma" or "God Uma" in the Luo language, which means "famous mountain") and Ruma National Park, famous for Jackson's hartebeest and roan antelope. Homa Bay can be a pleasant excursion to be in contact with the lake and to be carried by the so particular atmospheres of the area.
