Very beautiful prehistoric site. For history lovers , you will definitely enjoy the rich stories by the tour guide. It's actually amazing to learn about our ancestors and their way of life. Ooh and by the way it's a UNESCO heritage site, declared in 2019

Luo culture on display with regard to household setup and design. It is a unesco protected site and a fee is charged for entry. Well maintained and relaxing environment.

This archaeological site is now world recognized as top 100 most delicate. UN has recently come in and the museum is growing up so fast in popularity as a destination point. The 600 years old stone walls built as fortresses against cattle raiders probably by Luhya or Kisii tribesman has four homesteads: Kaluoch, Kakuku, Kachieng and Kakech. Each homestead has various unique features, and sizes. Each has cattle bomas and multiple gates except Kakuku to the West that has only one gate. The museum has also constructed a typical Luo homestead of a polygamist. Which is the huts seen in entry. They also have a Luo traditional granary for storing grains or cereals. There's a multipurpose Hall on the grounds as well. The plans are underway to construct a resource center and a hotel on the facility. This is a report we got from the curator on the 7th of October 2019. The other Wonderful features of the museum is the 800 metres nature trail. It affords wonderful fauna and flora as the habit is so virgin and serene. There is a troop or two of velvet monkeys jumping from tree to tree. Bird watchers would not be disappointed either for there are hundreds of different species of birds. In the morning they wake up their guests with sweet melodies of chirping and singing from their rich repertoire. From my visit earlier in the year I noticed a number of improvement as they have recently put up a toilet block with modern toilets. The grounds have very lush lawns and would be a perfect place to shoot a wedding photo session for the locals. It would be worthy effort to short an epic documentary as well. The major disappointment is the poor state of the road to Thimlich Ohinga, Archaeological site. The government need to improve the quality of the road if any and many could be encouraged to visit such a museum. From here to lake Victoria is 25 kilometers only.
