Description

This is the landscape of the area around Kendu Bay in Karachuonyo Location, South Nyanza District. The terrain drops away from the hills above Kendu Bay into the open flat land towards the shore, with Lake Victoria seen in the far background. This is a densely settled area and Luo homesteads can be seen below, often spread out as groups of fenced homesteads with grass thatch huts, surrounded by thick euphorbia fences.
