点评:At the very moment I disembarked the plane from Nairobi and looked around at the soft lift light of the setting sun, I said: "I love this place." Yes, love at the first sight. And it had not changed. I am not fond of large cities, so Kisumu was a delight after staying a week in Nairobi.
Right on the following day, I visited the Impala Sanctuary, which turned to be rather disappointing (you won't see many impalas there and other animals are caged) and the Kisumu Museum. I was pleasantly surprised by the exhibition, partly indoors, partly outdoors, supportive staff, and the typical African patience if you stay a bit longer after the closing time. The best part was the Luo people village with a group of young people performing Luo traditional dances and songs. They were amazing. Their energy and excitement made me feeling younger. They should be recording and go to a talent competition. They will win!
If you have time, I suggest going for a day boat trip on the Lake Victoria and visit the Ndere island. The whole island is a National Park, no inhabitants, quiet, serene, no sign or sound of civilisation. It's a balm for the mind and soul. I wish I could spend a week there.
Other places not far away and worth to see include the Kakamega Rain Forest and the Rondo Retreat Center with its perfectly-maintained garden, delicious coffee, tea, and cakes.
And yes, I stayed in the Milimani Beach Resort I chose as a second option but found it a place I'd like to stay again.
翻译:当我从内罗毕走下飞机的那一刻,看着夕阳柔和的升光,我说:“我喜欢这个地方。”是的,一见钟情。它并没有改变。我不喜欢大城市,所以基苏木在内罗毕呆了一个星期后很高兴。
第二天,我参观了黑斑羚保护区,结果相当令人失望(那里不会看到很多黑斑羚,其他动物都被关在笼子里)和基苏木博物馆。我对这个展览感到惊喜,部分在室内,部分在室外,有支持的工作人员,如果你在闭馆后多呆一会儿的话,还有典型的非洲耐心。最精彩的部分是洛族村寨,一群年轻人表演洛族传统歌舞。他们太棒了。他们的活力和兴奋让我感觉更年轻。他们应该去录音并参加才艺比赛。他们会赢!
如果有时间,我建议去维多利亚湖一日游,参观恩代尔岛。整个岛屿是一个国家公园,没有居民,安静、安详,没有文明的迹象和声音。它是心灵和灵魂的安慰。我希望我能在那里度过一个星期。
不远处还有其他值得一看的地方,包括卡卡梅加雨林 (Kakamega Rain Forest) 和隆多静修中心 (Rondo Retreat Centre),那里有维护完美的花园,提供美味的咖啡、茶和蛋糕。
是的,我住在米里玛尼海滩度假村作为第二选择,但我发现它是我想再次入住的地方。
