Nyanza Province, Administrative province on Lake Victoria, Kenya
The southwestern region of Kenya includes extensive agricultural lands where farmers grow sugarcane, tea, and coffee near Lake Victoria's eastern shores.
Nyanza Province maintained its status as one of Kenya's eight administrative regions until the implementation of the 2010 constitution created 47 counties.
The province contains multiple ethnic communities, with the Luo and Kisii peoples forming the main groups, each maintaining their languages and traditions.
Kisumu International Airport connects Nyanza with major cities, while an extensive road network provides access to different parts of the province.
The name Nyanza originates from a Bantu word referring to large water bodies, reflecting the province's connection to Lake Victoria.
