Smaller, and perhaps slightly less pleasant than Mfangano, the island is easier to access because it is connected to the mainland by a bridge. It has a dual interest. Prehistoric, because it was discovered the remains of a Proconsul africanus, primate old about twenty million years old and distant ancestor of man. History, because it is Tom Mboya's birthplace. This luo politician, a staunch advocate of human rights and democracy, was very popular in Kenya. Probably too much for some, who had him assassinated in 1969. His tomb is located north of the island. Ruma National Park, about 45 km from Rusinga, is one more reason to stay in the Lake Victoria area.
