Ruma National Park

This park is not very popular and it is for this reason i have decided to feature it here. Established in 1966 and initially named Lambwe Valley Game Reserve. It is located in Suba district Nyanza and is 425 kilometers from Nairobi and about 10 kilometers east of Lake Victoria . The park is relatively humid due to its close proximity to the lake. It is mainly covered by savanna grassland and woodland mainly acacia trees. Some of the wild-game that can be spotted there include buffaloes, giraffes (Rothschild's), hyena, monkeys, impalas, antelopes and numerous birds. Some of the lodges and local hotels that surround it include Oribi Guest house- located at the top of the escarpment overlooking the park, Lake Victoria Safari Lodge at the shores of the magnificent Lake Victoria the largest fresh water lake in the East African Region, Sunset Hotel a large hotel near Kisumu town, and the Imperial Hotel. Next time you consider a Kenya Safari Ruma national park might be an option.
