Zaga was a great host leading me through trails on the east side of Lake Victoria. Added bonus was the bike ride crossing the lake. You'll see various birds diving into the water hunting for fish.”

As I am working in agricultural and food, I loved the strolls over the (fresh) markets. The taxi place was fun! The mosque and the climb up the minaret were fabulous.
