Natural Landmarks in Homa Bay Homa Hills: The Splendour of Homa Bay The 6 km long range of Homa Hills, seen as you approach Homa Bay from Kendu Bay, form a fine roadside attraction. Lying between Homa Line and Mainuga Beach along the Homa peninsula, that protrudes into the Winam Gulf and forms the east flank of Homa Bay, these sit in the tectonically active region on the Kendu Fault. The main peaks, Nyasanga, Apoyo and Homa, are marked by steep boulder-strewn and cliffs steeply standing out above the surrounding area as they abruptly rise from Kavirondo Gulf, with the tallest of these, the Homa, rising to 1581 ms. The geothermal prospects of Homa Hills, with hot springs on the northern and southern part of the area, are especially of interest for visitors. Homa Hills, noted as a great hiking and scrambling attraction, are best explored during the early morning hours when the sun is not too high overhead. At the summit, the boundless vegetation in the delta region, typified by grass, shrubs and natural trees including acacia and other semi-arid species, is striking. The views of Lake Victoria from the upper reaches of Homa Hills are superb. Kisumu and Ndere Island can also be sighted. Kisindi Spa and Lodge is a perfect jumping-off base.
