I'm from Nairobi, but there's something special about Kisumu. You'll appreciate its beauty more when landing 🛬. Entebbe is equally beautiful. Yes, Kisumu is the most beautiful town in Kenya.
Stop using these biased titles, such as "Europe gives Africa" or "This is not Europe". This is all the result of a colonial mentality imposed by people who only wanted to harm us, and I've seen many black UA-camrs doing the same thing. So please stop, it's just ridiculous.
Exactly, me too I don't like when people called Rwanda Singapore and Switzland of Africa We are no way near them and we are unique on our own as it is in whole Africa
If you think these youtubers will listen to any kind of logic you're mistaken - they are driven by views and clicks - no matter how much integrity they lose
The main reason kisumu has fewer skyscrapers is due to weaker soil foundation due to platonic lake belt and most buildings plans fail NCA structural tests etc.
Techtonic plate nonsense 😅😅😅😅. My friend, where did you get your Geotechnical Engineering data from? Kisumu sits on a bed of basalt rocks. One can build very very tall structures in Kisumu town.
Kisumu city , particularly the CBD is extremely clean. Disciplined residents of Kisumu, when it comes to disposal of litter and trash. Plus NIL fear/s of one's cell phone or handbag or lap top bag being snatched as you walk through the city. I love ❤ Kisumu city.
Kisumu is in western part of Kenya . In post Independence Kenya Kisumu was in Nyanza province . Under British Colonization the territories south of Kisumu were considered South Nyanza, those close to Kisumu, Central Nyanza and those North of Kisumu, North Nyanza .
Present day Western Province primarily inhabited by Luhya groups was North Nyanza . The groups around Lake Victoria were historically referenced as Kavirondo Nilotics or the Luo and Kavirondo Bantus or the Luhya(abaluhya), Kuria(abakuria), Kisii(abagusii) and the smaller known Kavirondo(abakavirondo) who were eventually assimilated by the Luo .
The kavirondo preceded other Bantu groups in the region . The Luo also assimilated the Bantu Suba, linguistically, socially, culturally and through intermarriages over centuries . Kisumu was the capital of Eastern Uganda , under British East Africa . The capital of British East Africa was Mombasa .
In addition to Kisumu, and other Kenya, Tanzania towns like Mwanza, Musoma, Arusha, Dar es Salaam ,Dodoma etc the Nilotic Luo are found in several urban areas in EAST,CENTRAL,NORTH-EAST AFRICA . These include Jinja, Kampala, Tororo, Gulu in Uganda, Khartoum and Juba in Sudan, Bunia, Beni, Butembo in DRC Congo, Gambella Ethiopia, Cairo Egypt etc . The largest population of Kenya Luo in Uganda is in Pakwach .
There is a small museum in Kisumu on the history and also there is a museum of Luo history in Pakwach(Ker Panyimur Kwonga Chiefdom in Jonam County of Pakwach district) Uganda . Also Makerere University in Uganda and University of Nairobi Kenya documents Luo History in addition to the National Archives and National Museum in Nairobi Kenya .
Scholars of Luo history include Uganda Lawyer and Poet Okot P'Bitek, Prof Allan Bethwell Ogot University of Nairobi , Moi University Kenya, Prof Washington Okumu(late) who brokered peace agreement between Nelson Mandela's ANC, Mangosuthu Buthelezi Inkatha Freedom Party and Frederik De Klerk's White National Party in South Africa . Prof E.S Atieno Odhiambo Rice University Texas , US .
The Luo also participated in Modern Liberation movements in the continent including in Sudan alongside the Nilotic Nuer and Dinka . In Ethiopia the Luo-Anywaa in Gambella . In Uganda including first Independent Uganda president Milton Obote(There is Obote Road in Kisumu) who was friends with Kenya Nationalist Oginga Odinga . They both attended Uganda's Makerere University and were founders of Kenya's Independence party .
In Congo DRC the Luo-Alur fought alongside Laurent Kabila in Eastern Congo against Mobutu Sese Seko . And the Luo of Tanzania participated in Independence movements first against the Germans then the British .
Kisumu is cosmopolitan with multiple racial and ethnic groups but the Nilotic Luo form a significant portion of the population . There is a large population of Asian Indian and most recently White particularly from US have settled in Kisumu, Mombasa and Nairobi(US state department records show that approximately 40,000 from US live in Kenya permanently with at least 300K visiting in 2019 alone) .
Most recently also Asian Japanese and Chinese investors are present in Kisumu and to a lesser extent Kenyan Arabs . Other Kenyan ethnic groups including the neighboring Kisii, Kuria and Luhya are domiciled in Kisumu .
Historically the Nilotic Luo, led by skilled warriors such as Owiny and Lwanda Magere, fought several territorial conflicts with their Nilotic Kalenjin neighbors, particularly the Nandi and Kipsigis groups . Historically Nilotic groups including the Maasai, Turkana, Toposa, Karamoja, Samburu etc had conflicts over grazing land due to their pastoralist lifestyles .
But the Luo like other Nilotic groups were pastoralists but also were primarily river lake Nilotes(like other groups along the Nile valley) with extensive boat-making and fishing cultures due to their Origin in the Nile Valley of Sudan/Lower Egypt . In addition the Luo practiced small scale farming in the past but at a lower level compared to their neighboring Bantu groups who were primarily farmers .
The Nilotic Luo found in KISUMU are diasporic(at least 20-25million spread out at least 9-12 territories including Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya ,DRC Congo, Chad, Central Africa Republic, Sudan/Lower Egypt, Ethiopia Gambella/Eritrea, Cameroon Luo- Bantu assimilated by late 1990's) and settled thousands years with skilled warriors(e.g Owiny, Obando Mumbo, Ogutu Kipapi, Lela Kabanda, Tawo Kogot, Onyango Randar, Oracha Rambo, Lwanda Magere and others) through conquest, intermarriage and assimilation e.g Luo-Suba in Kenya, Tanzania and Luo-Babito/Luo-Langi/Luo-Kumam in Uganda with tendencies for large families thanks to history of polygamy in the past like all other AFRO groups .
Other Assimilated groups in Kenya and Tanzania included Luo-Wasweta(Abasweta),Luo-Kavirondo(Abarondo),Luo-Kanjuro(Abanjuro),Luo-Mikiria(Abakiria),Luo-Basi(Ababasi),Luo-Mugirango(Abagirango) . The Kavirondo were the original occupants of the L.Victoria region in Western Kenya before Luo occupation and assimilation .
The Luo conquered several kingdoms in the past through their southward movement and contributed to banyarwanda tutsi southwest movement to present day Rwanda/Congo, influencing rulership for Luo-babito and Baganda Kingdoms in Uganda .
Kenya Luo proper(Kenya Nationalist Tom Mboya, VP Oginga Odinga ,OBAMA ,LUPITA NYONGO ),Luo-Suba .Tanzania Luo proper, Luo-Suba,Luo-Wasweta,Luo-Mukisero .
Uganda Luo-Langi(President Milton Obote, Gen David Oyite Ojok, Gen Smith Acak Opon, Lt Col John Charles Ogole, zanzibar liberator John Gideon Okello , united Tanganyika+Zanzibar=Tanzania) .
Uganda Luo-Acholi(Presidents Gen Tito Okello and Army Commander Gen Bazillio Olara Okello,Airforce Director,Maj Alfred Otto, Major Stephen Abili,Airforce pilots Cpt Harry Oluoch,Cpt Eric Odwar etc) .
Kisumu is not just clean but the most beautiful city in Kenya
Of course
Don’t let these fools from NRB hear you say that 🤣
Lol....Kisumu is like a village in Nairobi. Yes it is clean but saying its more beautiful or better than Nairobi is just a joke!
Stop falling over yourselves... This village town can't even beat Lamu. Leave alone Mombasa and Nairobi.

UA-camrs, especially Travel vloggers, thrive on exaggerations and sensationalism to grow their channels by luring traffic to their contents.
@@kagabopaul3126 I concur with you. Our African UA-camrs need some classes on who we are as Africans.
Kisumu To The World,,Kisumu Queen Of The Lake🔥🔥💙💙💙👍👍
Spotlessly clean! Just like Kigali. Kudos to Professor Anyang Nyong'o. Other Kenya cites should visit Kisumu for benchmarking.
The main reason kisumu has fewer skyscrapers is due to weaker soil foundation due to platonic lake belt and most buildings plans fail NCA structural tests etc.
