Rusinga Island Lodge.

Rusinga Island Lodge is a little kept secret. An oasis of love and romance. So hidden that until you get into the lodge you won’t exactly know what lies behind the walls.

The lodge came in highly recommended as one of the best destinations to unwind and rekindle love at the Kenyan ‘west coast.’

An airstrip,manicured lawns,happy host and the aroma of delicious food as you walk in gives a rough idea of how the general stay will be. I finally understood why it was highly recommended. I mean, if love and all other things were constant I think a combination of a wedding and honeymoon in the same venue would work perfectly.

The lodge boasts of some many beautiful things; like a lovely sunrise,

    This looks absolutely stunning! I could easily pass hours sat on the seat over looking the lake, and the sunrise looks like its worth waking up early for.

      The sunrise is amazing, chilling lazily at the lake shore is the order of the day here.

    Oh my, I could really use such an oasis right now, the place looks incredible. I wouldn’t even guess it was a lake, I’d expect something like this to be on the ocean coast. Thanks for sharing this post, I would probably never hear about Rusinga Island otherwise!
