Our first leg of the trek to Mfangano is a stop in Kisumu - the 3rd largest city in Kenya. Here, our field consultant Adam and the EK Guild forman Gabby met us and helped locate and purchase materials.

From Kisumu we drove to the Luanda Ferry. The drive should have taken about two hours.
We made in about 1hr 15min...

The Ferry took us to MBita where we had to cross the causeway and load all the gear, equipment and materials into another boat. Guild members Mike and Elijah brought the boat over from Mfangano and were waiting for us when we got to Mbita.
