  A nice place to visit, truly historic, artifacts still intact and a tour guide available 24/7. Was so happy getting to see the briefcase Tom Mboya had in his hand when he was assassinated in Nairobi back when I was a little child. So long a go yet so recent. It's strategically surrounded by the Rusinga ring road. The terrain isn't so great for a lowrider, come in a 4*4 if you happen to find time during a rainy season.

  Rich history. Interesting stories. A part of Kenyan history that is often gone unsaid and not taught to younger generations

  He held a huge amount of influence as Jomo Kenyatta’s right-hand man and was widely tipped to become Kenya’s second president before he was assassinated in 1969. His tomb and a small museum dedicated to his life are on the island’s north side.
  
  To get there from the causeway and Rusinga town, take the right-hand road at the junction and, after around 12km, take the road off to the right with the sign pointing to Kolunga Beach. Turn right again about 50m later, continue straight for around 700m and, at the junction with the small sign to the museum, go right. It's the bullet-shaped (which symbolises the bullet that killed him) building in front of you. Entry is by donation – KSh200 should be enough. There are no set opening hours but the caretaker will quickly turn up to show you around.

  Good information, nice guide, but he is not always in. Take care of that man from the museum at the other side.
