Before choosing where to stay
Getting Around
There is no airport in Homa Bay; travelers typically connect via Nairobi or Kisumu. Local transport relies on taxis and 'Dala Dala' minibuses. Access to Ruma National Park usually requires hiring a car or driver, as public transport options are limited.
Best Season
The dry seasons (January-March and July-October) are ideal for visiting. Wildlife viewing at Ruma National Park is superior during these months as animals gather around water sources, and road conditions are generally better for travel.
