Workation in Kisumu: the essentials

Kenya's third-largest city lies on the Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria, with about 440,000 people around a lakefront that has been under renovation for years. Kisumu grew from the terminus of the Uganda Railway and remains a commercial and industrial centre as well as the cultural home of the Luo people. The fish market at Dunga, boat trips to see hippos and the Impala Sanctuary are close to town, and the balancing rocks of Kit Mikayi make a popular outing. Coworking spaces exist, and Kisumu International Airport is only about 5 km from the centre. Water hyacinth regularly chokes parts of the gulf.

OSM lists one coworking space within 10 km (LakeHub), so there is a fallback option but little real choice. A day pass likely costs around 8 EUR, a month about 90 EUR. At 25 Mbps, the connection should cover most remote work.
