Day 1: Kisumu City – Ruma National Park

Our guide will pick you to depart Kisumu at 6.00am by road via Kendu Bay and Homa bay town to reach Ruma River Lodge which is only 1km from Kamato Gate.Pick your packed lunch in homabay. Drive to Ruma National Park for a game drive. Ruma National park lies in Western Kenya, close to the shores of Africa’s largest inland Lake, Lake Victoria. The park is considered the last retreat and the sanctuary of the endangered and threatened Roan antelope which is considered one of the Africa’s rarest Antelopes. This park was established in 1966 to protect its indigenous population of rare Roan antelope which exist nowhere else in Kenya. It acquired national park status in 1993 and renamed Ruma National Park on the request of the local community in honor of one of the most powerful Kenya’s wizards, the much-feared Gor Mahia who was living high on a hill which now forms part of the Kanyamwa Escarpment. The classic image of East Africa is realized in Ruma National Park, a land of rolling Savannah dotted with picturesque Acacias and backed by dramatic hills. Compact in size, the park is easily traversed by only two major routes and offers a unique mosaic of reverie woodland, golden Savannah and magnificent Escarpments. Well away from the beaten tourist track and relatively infrequently visited, it is also a park that excels in tranquility and the solitary enjoyment of the wilderness. Apart from the Roan antelope, we have also plenty of African Cape Buffalo (the only native African cow). The park also act as a home to the common waterbuck, the Aardvark, the honey badger, the solitary nocturnal African civet, Serval, Genet, Topi, Impala, Vervet Monkey, Olive Baboon and the Rothschild giraffes which are abundant, not forgetting the white rhinos which can be easily spotted grazing around and at night at Ruma River Lodge you can hear the sound of the secretive Leopard and the common sound of the spotted Hyena which will give you the memorable sound of African bush.
