Dunga Hill Camp
An open-air bar-restaurant and campsite on the shore of Lake Victoria, famous for coconut tilapia, samosas and lake sunsets, with a live band on weekends.
Set on a small hill above the lakeshore on Dunga Road, this is one of Kisumu's most popular sunset spots, with open-air seating scattered among the trees and lawns. Its signature dishes are coconut-grilled tilapia and 'wet-fried' tilapia served with ugali. The wet-fried fish is fried and then finished in a tomato and onion sauce, a local style. Samosas and thin-crust pizza are also popular. Some reviewers feel the atmosphere is better than the food. A live band plays on weekends and the bar gets crowded, so arrive before evening to get a spot. Evenings by the lake are chilly and buggy, so bring a jacket. Dishes cost about KES 500 to 2,000, and cards and M-Pesa are accepted. It is about 3 km from the city center and is reached by tuk-tuk or boda-boda.
Opening hours
Daily, about 11:00-23:00 (some sources say from 08:00; lunch officially starts at 12:00)
