  • 5/5 Catherine Mong'ina - M. 2 years ago on Google • 87 reviews
    Absolutely 💯 amazing view of the Lake! Lake Victoria looks breathtaking from Dunga Beach front. Not sure why it's called "beach" seeing that it's a Lake not an Ocean 🤷‍♀️ Right next to the "beach" 🙂 is some amazing fresh fried fish being sold. You certainly must try some fish while at dunga. And yes the rumours are true, fish in Kisumu (sorry Dunga beach...) is more expensive to buy than in Nairobi. You'd think the fish is cheaper, nope! Be ready to part with a few coins to enjoy some fresh fish from the beautiful Lake Victoria. Boat rides are reasonably priced and you get a chance to have great views of the Lake. The "beach" is also very clean and organised. Photographers are also quick to sell their services, honestly all you need is your smartphone and you'll take some amazing pictures. I travel alone and I absolutely felt safe and did not feel out of place at all. I also met some first time visitors like me who were just as curious as I was. Would highly recommend you visit Dunga Beach next time you're in Kisumu. It's Lit!

    Great fish and the boat ride was very enjoyable and a very insightful guide

  • 5/5 Isaac G. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful place to visit. Especially if you want a hippo tour on the lake. You can’t really swim in the lake because of the dangerous bacteria…and the hippos. But a tour gives you magnificent views of the surrounding lands. The sunsets across the water are also beautiful!!! Hippos are very easy to find and I know if you tour here you will see them!!!

    It's a really nice place to meet the locals. Just a little Fisher spot close to Hippo Point. We did a boat cruise with "Cruise Lake Victoria". It was just awesome. We saw the lake, our really friendly guide explained a lot to us and we even saw hippos and the boat driver brought us very close by so we could see them really good and take some nice pictures. Awesome place to visit when you are in Kisumu

  • 5/5 Jeff A. 3 years ago on Google
    Fresh fish, fresh air from the lake and friendly people. Dunga Beach is a place that will leave you with memories for centuries. Food offered here is fresh from the lake served with some fresh traditional african vegetables. Moreover, boat ride and swimming is also offered and allowed in these place. If you wanna see hippos wading waters in the morning, this is the place to visit. This is a must visit place when visiting Kisumu or western kenya and it's environs.

    Imagine eating fresh fish from the lake with a view of the actual lake where your food came from. Okay, now imagine coming early morning to catch the fishermen return with their catch that will end up on your plate. Now stop imagining and go to Dunga Beach to go through the actual experience. It's quite thrilling to watch in action how the fishing village is alive the moment the fishermen come back, the fish vendors purchasing the fresh fish, the early riders enjoying the morning sun as you see in the video... Very very nice.

    It is a great beach that offers a myriad of activities. We ate delicious fish and later had a session of bird watching and learning about the culture. The boat ride was exhilarating.

    We came for a boat ride and it was amazing. We were a group of 20 and had to take two boats out. We had one guide and had to stop both boats at the same time to make sure everyone got the same tour. Saw Tilapia fish farming in aqua cages, an 8yr old technology that is restoring lake Victoria waters after overfishing and hyacinth left the lake unproductive. Managed to spot a pod of hippos, even saw two little Hippo babies 🦛That was pretty cool! Stopped over at Dunga Hill Camp for a cold one and to stretch our legs, before heading back out. I highly recommend that you carry a large sun hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and drinking water. It gets pretty pretty hot out there and the reflection from the lake can hurt your eyes. Beware of taking photos at the beach prior to boarding, the photographers are territorial and will charge you about KES 50 to take a photo even on your phone. If you’re not into boat rides, I suggest you do a morning tour, between 9-10am when the waters are calm ... very peaceful ride. Evening waters after 5pm can get a bit rough. Finally, remember to have fun!

    I love the fish in this place. Here the fish leaps from the water, into cooking oil then into your tummy....what else can you ask for??😂

    As always, the various eateries serves a sumptuous meal of fish made to your taste. You can never go wrong with fish here!

    Best place when taking a road trip to Kisumu. If you love chilling, good vibes with friends, take a trip to Dunga beach.

  • 2/5 Rachele F. 3 months ago on Google • 29 reviews New
    I wouldn’t call it a beach… The view on the lake is nice but you need to sit somewhere to eat or drink (expensive, and the waiters at the entrance are pushy to have you as a client). Generally the environment is dirty, noisy and bad smelling…

    A recreational market center having biggest fish market in Kenya. Availability of modern hotels, boat riding and magnificent L.Victoria makes Dunga beach the most visited place

  • 3/5 Brian L. 3 years ago on Google
    Dunga Beach would be a great place if it was actually a beach. The mushrooming of kiosks and peddlers takes away the allure of being on the shores of the world's second largest fresh water lake. Too many intoxicated youth lurking about. There is a cultural center with interesting Luo artifacts right on the beach but infested by drunk young men. County government needs to restore this place

    Services offered here are suboptimal. Everyone is out to exploit you. On the bright side it has a great view of the lake and a cool breeze

    (Translated by Google) Starting point for boat tour in Victoria goal .. Guler Yuzlu is the place where he will happily take his place in memories with his friendly people. In Luo tribe "Idinâde?" So the place where I learned to say "how are you" is a place where we can visit the fisher town for a documentary taste .. Do not leave without a "boat trip" at Bunga beach ... enjoy! (Original) Victoria golunde bot turu yapmak icin baslangic noktasi.. Guler yuzlu,arkadas canlisi insanlari ile anilarda keyifle yerini alacak yer..Luo kabilesinde "idinâde?" Yani "how are you" demeyi ogrendigim yer 😆 balikci kasabasini belgesel tadinda gezebilecegiz bir yer..Dunga beach te kensinlikle "boat trip " yapmadan ayrilmayin..enjoy!

    Fish is good

  • 5/5 Gideon M. 3 years ago on Google
    It is a nice beach 🏖 in Kisumu for boat riding and also specifically for fish 🐠 eating. It is worth visiting. Boat riding charges are fair and of course negotiable. Depends with the number of people you are boarding and the distance. If you love fish then you can take that chance to reward yourself with a bite served at the beach.

  • 3/5 KRIS E. 3 years ago on Google

    Located on the shores of Lake Victoria, my team loved and enjoyed every bit of the very big delectable dry fishes 😋😋😋. Great service and ambience.

  • 3/5 kimani m. 3 years ago on Google
    I had my 1st lake victoria boat tour from the tour boats at Dunga. The place is however quite rundown and it's got great potential to be an even greater tourist point that would earn so much income for the business people in the area. The govt should invest in upgrading the space to modern standards

  • 4/5 Patrick M. 3 years ago on Google
    Tasty 😋 fish. You can have a boat ride too.

  • 5/5 Odari A. 3 years ago on Google
    Here, I feel at home. I love the fish.They offer fresh fish 🐟 which you select and is prepared pronto. You feast on fish right by the lakeside with a nice rhythm of the waves crashing on the lakeside. There are boat rides for everyone.

    Cleanest fish place I have ever been to. Clean fish market, clean roads, clean streets, clean public toilet, clean, clean, clean. Fish cheaper than in Nairobi, and Kisuu towns. By almost half.
