Local Communities & Family Activities

There are lots of fun family activities at Rusinga.

Rusinga’s swimming pool is designed with both children and adults in mind – the shallow end slopes gently towards the deeper end offering safe waters for young children to play.

On the lake, watersports provide great entertainment for children and adults alike and on land, children are free to explore the lodge grounds in safety, searching for monitor lizards and mongoose.

The friendly Luo community fish along the shores of the lake in their colourful canoes and sailing dhows.   Guests are welcomed with open arms at their villages where the night’s catch is set out to dry in the sun and larger fish are smoked.  It is also possible to visit local schools and community projects whilst staying at Rusinga.
