A 1 Day Safari to Kenya’s Ruma National Park offers a chance to see unique wildlife like the Roan antelope and the Rothschild giraffe, but it’s perfect to start from Kisumu or Homa Bay due to the park’s remote location and the 140km distance from Kisumu. While the park offers fabulous activities, game drives, bird watching, and nature walks, the limited time on a 1-day trip means you will focus on game drives and enjoying a picnic lunch before returning to your starting point in the evening.
