Mbita Point is a town in the former province of Nyanza, Kenya, currently in Homa Bay County, on the shores of Lake Victoria.
It is home to the Thomas Odhiambo campus of the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE).
The main district hospital is in the neighbouring town of Sindo, 17 km away.
Mbita Point has an urban population of 6100, but the population grows rapidly due to urbanization, new technologies like cell phone coverage and internet connection through cyber cafes, electrification, trade and education.
The main income-generating activity in Mbita is fishing, but tourism is becoming a new trade as the road connections to the rest of the country are being improved.
