Quiet cottages, a real spa and green countryside — three meals a day included, close to Lake Victoria and Kakamega Forest.

Stone and thatch cottage with bougainvillea and tropical garden in Kisumu, Kenya

The stay

A quiet base, outside the noise of the city

The cottages at Hippo Country Spa & Tours sit in a peaceful country setting away from the city. Guests describe the place as quiet, homely and well looked after. The gardens are green. The food is good — three meals a day, included.

The spa

Not a hotel spa. A proper place to slow down: massage, body treatments and stillness in a calm, green setting. It's designed for exactly the kind of day Kisumu invites — a dawn paddle, a forest morning, an afternoon to recover.

The full treatment list, durations and prices are confirmed when you book.

The food

Three meals a day are included in the stay. Tell us about any dietary needs when you book and we'll take care of it.

The location

Kisumu is the gateway to Western Kenya — Lake Victoria, Kakamega Forest, and the western corridor of the Masai Mara. From the retreat you can reach all of it and return to a quiet place at the end of the day.
