For holiday lovers and residents, catching a glimpse of the beautiful evening sunset as it disappears into the Lake Victoria horizon from Hippo Point is the climax of any visit to Kisumu.

The sunset, coupled with the snorting of families of hippos that have turned the site their home and birthed the name of the beach, is a sweet experience to behold.
