Mfangano Island

Mfangano Island lies in the eastern part of Lake Victoria, at the mouth of the Winam Gulf.

The island is home to the largest population of Olusuba or Suba people language speakers in Kenya.

Some of the inhabitants of Mfangano are believed to be descendants of emigrants from the Buganda kingdom in Uganda who arrived after the controversial early nineteenth century killing of the kabaka juju.

Many more will be able to experience the region with the improving tourism rate boosted by the establishment of the Abasuba Community Peace Museum in October 2009.

Mfangano is also known for its ancient rock art, possibly 2,000 years old and thought to have been created by early forager-hunters, perhaps a Twa people.
