Mount Homa, Carbonatite volcano in Homa Bay County, Kenya.
Mount Homa reaches 1,751 meters above sea level and forms a broad peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Victoria's Winam Gulf.
The Kanjera archaeological site near Mount Homa contains Oldowan artifacts dating back approximately 2 million years, first excavated in the 1930s.
The Luo people name this geological formation Got Uma or God Marahuma, recognizing its central position in their regional traditions.
Multiple hiking paths lead to the flat-topped summit, offering clear views across Lake Victoria and the surrounding Homa Bay County landscape.
This mountain releases cold carbonatite lava during eruptions, a rare geological phenomenon shared only with Tanzania's Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano.
