You water phonic? No worries, nothing is as safe as traveling on a big vessel on water

A good connection between Siaya and Homa Bay counties. Use to get to Rusinga Island, which is accessible just over the bridge from Mbita Point.

Impressed with punctuality of service. The captain and crew are also strict with their standard operating procedures...so thumbs up!!

Some of the water vessels available are ferry, waterbus, speedboats and engine propelled wooden boats. The charges are fair.

Please someone confirm. Is this ferry operating in 2022 February? Not the waterbus, I am asking about the ferry which transports vehicles from Luanda K'Otieno to Mbita and back. Is the ferry operating as usual in 2022? I have gotten unconfirmed reports information that the ferries are all grounded and no vehicles can cross from Luanda K'otieno to Mbita. Is this true? Please someone give us upto date information. Thank you.

Anita Ferry plying between Mbita point and Luanda Kotieno in Siaya county, Lake Victoria, Kenya. East Africa.

The water bus is timely, comfortable and affordable.

Lots of commotion when boarding the waterbus.Felt like women and kids should be given first priority.
