Milimani Beach Resort is a lakeside property situated along Dunga Road. It should not be confused with "Milimani Holiday Resort" in the posh Milimani estate up the hill. This one is right at the shores of Lake Victoria and brands itself as that serene hideaway where you can watch fishing boats and hippos-from your balcony. It is a study in contrasts: while perhaps one of Kisumu best locations for an uninterruptible view over the lake, infrastructure largely remains "tired"and long past due renovation works. It caters to travelers willing to overlook worn-out furniture plus some basic amenities so long as they have front-row seats to nature, spectacular sunsets, and real raw authentic atmosphere of the Dunga wetland area.

Quick Look - Milimani Beach Resort


  • Almost every room has a private balcony facing the lake. Arguably, this side offers both the best sunrise and sunset views within the city.
  • The resort is famous for hippos that graze on its lawns at night. Viewing them from the safety of your upper floor balcony shall be a unique highlight.
  • Located at the very end of Dunga road, away from all city noises except for birds and waves and occasional fishermen.
  • Most rooms are large with big glass doors that allow a lot of natural light into the room as well as bringing in the lake breeze.
  • It is within walking distance to Dunga Beach fishing community and also near Impala Sanctuary by car.
  • × The place comes with what one might call faded glory. Peeling paint. Old plumbing. Furniture that has seen better days.
  • × Misleading info online or otherwise, there is currently no swimming pool at the establishment, which makes a stay here during Kisumu heat rather unfulfilling.
  • × The last stretch of Dunga Road to the hotel can get tough and muddy when it rains and is poorly lit at night.

Comprehensive Guide - Milimani Beach Resort


  • Worth the Price Fair for the location and view, but often feels overpriced per the condition of the room compared to modern budget hotels in town.
  • Service Quality They are friendly and nice. Most of the time they also appear to be efficient professionally but suddenly the whole image collapses and patience has to be exercised.
  • Location 5/5 for scenery and nature lovers; the direct lake access is unbeatable.
  • Area Rustic and natural. You are next to a fishing village and wetlands, which is scenic but can smell of fish or mud depending on the wind.
  • Cleanliness Basic. Linens are usually clean, but corners and balconies may have dust or cobwebs due to the open-air environment.
  • Breakfast Variety The fresh Tilapia (wet fry or dry fry) is excellent because it is sourced daily from the neighbors, but the menu variety is limited.
