Kisumu, the largest Kenyan town on the shores of Lake Victoria — also fondly called Kisumu City following its so-called upgrading 10 years ago — is an important maritime and commercial hub connecting northern Tanzania, eastern Uganda and western Kenya.
As expected, fish is the mainstay of this town, both for the local market and for export.
