Homa Bay County is considered one of the best tourist destinations in the Western circuit, famed for pristine features that draw local and international visitors in big numbers annually.

One of its finest and widely-sampled attractions is the Rhuma National Park, which is Nyanza’s only terrestrial park and home to the roan antelope.
