Kiboko Bay Resort is located on the shores of Lake Victoria close the little fishing village of Dunga, which is five kilometres from Kisumu.  Dunga is one of the best places in Kenya to see the traditional ssese canoes being made. These are used to operate the local passenger service on the lake, also for fishing. Painted in bright colours, often depicting a favourite football team, the boats are 8 long and narrow and have a large outboard motor. They are known locally as yie, while those with sails are known as yie nange. 

This friendly resort offers gorgeous views of the lake, excellent bird-watching, hippo spotting, sandy beaches, and numerous walks and boat rides.
