Jaramogi Oginga Odinga mausoleum is in Nyamira Kango in Bondo, the place where the doyen of opposition politics of in Kenya was buried. It's a big homestead now only occupied by workers since in Luo tradition, the sons establish their home outside their father's. It's the last born who inherits the father's homestead. Currently this home serves as museum with the old man's artifacts displayed for public to view. It's a tourist attractions in western Kenya and at any time during the day you will meet local and international tourists flocking the place

A few kilometers from Bondo town off the Bondo Usenge road and could probably be accessed with a motorbike from the turn off. The maoleum itself is located in the former homestead of the late opposition politician. There are brick houses of his wives and the masoleum is in the middle of the homestead. There are portraits of Mr. Odinga and a lion sculpture on the exact spot he is buried at. There is a museum with personal belongings of Odinga and can be accessed for fee. There is no fee to access the homestead however. Its a beautiful compound with plenty of trees and a very peaceful and tranquil place. There are still folk who live in the homestead. There is a guide who is probably a family member but he is a disappointment and beyond telling you about the number of wives Odinga hardly had any other insightful information
