Lake Victoria

I've been to Kisumu (many times) and Muhuru,
both on Lake Victoria.

But this was my first time to Homa Bay.

These people are waiting for the boat to get full(er) before it heads out, likely to Kendu Bay. Many people die every year on this lake. Such boats don't carry life-jackets and most Kenyans do not know how to swim. The boats are often referred to as "floating coffins". There have been 109 drowning deaths in more than 80 accidents since 2004 on Lake Victoria. Supposedly a new law has just been passed requiring safety features on the boats.
