Nyanza Province, once an administrative region in Kenya, is nestled in the southwestern part of the country around Lake Victoria. Known for its rich cultural tapestry, it is predominantly inhabited by the Luo and Kisii people, alongside other Bantu-speaking tribes. The province's name, derived from a Bantu word meaning a large mass of water, reflects its close connection to Lake Victoria.
