How To Spend A Weekend in Kisumu, Kenya

today I'm in Kazuma city and I'm gonna be showing you guys how to spend a weekend and Kasumi what is up guys and welcome back to a brand new video soaked in some ways a really nice small town where people usually come for business but today I'm going to show you guys a different side of this amou how to travel this place cuz I'm gonna be here for like the next two days and it'll be awesome so first things first is getting here these two ways of getting here you could either get here by Road which is about a five-hour drive from Nairobi or you could get a flight from aerobic and come here and you'd most likely be landing in consumo International Airport that's what I did my flight was super early in the morning at like 7 o clock I'm still kind of tired from that the other thing that you'll realize when you get hearing someone is that there's no over but if you want to get a taxi download this app called bolt so that you can get around it so for the next three days I'll be staying at this hotel called acacia premier hotel which is beautiful thank you so much all right thank you very much oh hi there I didn't notice you guys waiting outside so well now that you're here let me give you guys a room tour this place is so cool so this is what 17,500 Schillings gets you a really cool room and this is my view guys look there's the lake that's that's Lake Victoria right over there this view is freakin incredible so the moment I landed in this place like I has the fields of landing in Chiang Mai because when you land you just see Hills all over the place and green scenery the air is so fresh so you know what they say when you get to a place meet a local and ask them to show you around so I have met Shivani haters would say that she's not a local but she's actually born in consumer I'm not born in consumer I'm born in Nairobi I came here when I was 7 I thought you were born into me but you've lived here for like 10 years of your life right so can I count just a local personal chauffeur so where you taking me today and they have really good biscuit pudding so I guess if we're lucky [Music] so help me hey hey laughing what is a place where you can come to enjoy an amazing view over there and apparently the Sun sets right over there over the lake Shivani says that there is gonna be trying so it is like sort of black forest green liquorice good recommendations about it it's really good so if you haven't heard kusuma has some of the best sunset set your witness and that was one of them that I got to witness on the rooftop of acacia premier hotel and at the same time I was enjoying a beer which speaking of drinks usually when places have views like that their drinks or rather their menu tend to be really overpriced but for a view like that surprisingly the menu is actually quite reasonable so that's a huge thumbs up good morning guys and welcome to a beautiful day hearing some warm starting off my day here at this cute coffee shop in the hotel so I ordered a black forest and a cappuccino and my cappuccino has my name on it so cool good morning all right so we have come to the Impala sanctuary here in case of MU and apparently there's a lot of impalas here so basically you walk along a trail and see impalas giraffes and trans to get into this place for citizens I don't know we paid for the both of us was 400 inside shillings oh my gosh look at how the leopard case a leopard so this leopard is called even basically she was an orphan and now she's being held over here do we kept safe and apparently if you stand out here you could touch her [Music] oh my god so unfortunately she can't be released back into the wild because she wouldn't be able to survive there just a quick note to mention is that these leopards are not sedated in any way whatsoever they're just here to be taken care of later we learned that there's a whole orphanage section where they have many different orphaned animals up there sheltering open my Jewish guides the Zebras give me open ever just out there I cannot believe we're walking with impalas right now and then there's a giraffe right over there hey big guy oh hey Marty is that you no Marty don't go Marty Marty Marty Marty Marty come back hey that's my friend Marty okay so right next to the Impala sanctuary its Impala eco-lodge and you can come here to have some lunch it's a little bit windy but guys this view is oh my gosh this view is freakin incredible Wow for a few like that these prices are actually so decent Wow okay scratch what I said about like decent prices for 600 shillings I got like two wings literally two wings okay let's try them out though so I'd give that food five out of ten but if you wanna enjoy food while enjoying a good view like that decent place to come I take a nap for like 30 minutes and this is what happens here Oh gray skies and I don't even know if you're gonna get a seat with the sunset today well then since the weather did not cooperate today I'm just gonna go and have some dinner there at the pool bar so for those of you didn't know tilapia fish is actually a staple here in somewhere they get it from I should have been Audrey for like each and every meal but that's not going to be trying right now that tilapia was just a fried tilapia then you throw some salt on the top and honestly that was the best deal of you have ever had in my life it was so fresh and they also give this sign sauce which is kind of like a tomato sauce which tasted so good with the fish and honestly if you're looking for just one reason to competition definitely come for that tilapia [Applause] so to complement that amazing tilapia rack laughing buddha to grab something called a sizzler brownie you feel like the heat of that brownie a little too sweet in my opinion so I probably wouldn't down the whole thing but it is something that you could get to share with someone [Music] thank you so through the hotel I organized a trip here to one of these rock formations called KITT Makai which is a very important Rock here in kazuma there's a lot of rock formations here in the area but this one in specific is really important and a lot of people visit this place so generally getting around to any place in kazuma will take you about five to ten minutes from your hotel but if you want to get to kid Makai it'll take you 45 minutes entry into the rock is 400 shillings unfortunately Shivani couldn't come with me today because she twisted her knee last night so for now I'm on my own all right so there's a lot of rock formations here in Kasongo and just that alone makes the drive to this specific rock really stunning so the story behind this rock is that there was this owner calling Gessle and basically he was like a really rich Luo man from the village and he was looking for a place to stay he found an area next to this rock where he built his house and then he was looking for another house to build and found this rock so basically what he would do is he would come and stay here all the time and when the people from the village would look for him they couldn't find him and they would ask his wife like we're together and all I would tell him that he's at his first wife place and basically they named this rock Makai so the names get Makai kid means rock and macaé means first wife this is such a challenge I definitely stay here all day with the view like that Wow so what's really special about this rock is the fact that once upon a time when the owner and guest needs to live here the rock started crying and then every time he would come out we figured that the whole land was in drought and he was basically told by the witch doctors that they needed to pray to the rock so that the rains could come and what they would do is they would sacrifice goats and chickens to the rock and then immediately after the rains would start pouring so now basically this rock is like a sacred rock and people come here to places like a lot of people back there praying to have their wishes come true so I'm currently on second floor or so they say and right below me under is another like first floor other where there's also other praying spots over there and ground floor is one thing to note though getting through those rocks is actually quite physically challenging and it's also mentally challenging because you go in through spaces where like the edge of the rocks it's quite fun well it's definitely not hard to see why he picked that rock over all other rocks Kennedy thank you so much man I am back at the hotel it's pretty hot and humid outside song think you're going to swim at the pool but before that I really need to get some lunch oh my gosh so good mushrooms capsicum onions chicken that Pisa right there was so incredible it was full of toppings and the crust oh so thin I give that a good 10 out of 10 my chauffeur is back Shivani how's your needle you missed such an awesome place yeah sorry haha alright so we have arrived to your club and this is where we were supposed to come to last evening to watch the sunset but then the weather decided to go like really bad but today weather looks really promising I'm hoping we're gonna get to see a nice sunset but we're not gonna be watching it over here we're gonna be watching it elsewhere although I just wanted to show you guys that this is one place you can visit while [Music] so this is basically what you have your club this is a floating dock and then right over there have all these bondas and just somewhere there the Sun will be setting in like the next one hour of notice people around the lake that are offering boat rides and I think there would be something cool to do while the Sun sets oh my gosh guys we are at Duncan Hill camp and this view wow this view is incredible unfortunately there's a lot of people here so I think we're going to go back to your club because there's less people can want that silent sunset watching but this is beautiful right up there there's a bar we can get drinks and stuff as you watch the Sun drop from right over there over the beautiful Lake Victoria the level of beautiful Wow well guys unfortunately it's the end of my time here in Kazuma but I have to say that this place was really enjoyable and I know that there's a few other things that I didn't cover that I wish I could have if I had more time here but that is why I'll be coming back here hopefully in the near future again and if you guys are in kisumu I highly highly recommend staying here at acacia premium Hotel the service is great the food is great and what I found most enjoyable was the pressure is the showerheads freaking fantastic anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this video I hope you found it helpful if you did hit that like
