| dbo:abstract | Mbita Point es una localidad de Kenia, con estatus de villa, perteneciente al condado de Homa Bay. En 2009, el territorio de la villa tenía una población total de 62 974 habitantes. Se sitúa en la costa del lago Victoria en el noroeste del condado, unos 30 km al noroeste de la capital condal Homa Bay. Al norte de la villa se ubica la isla de Rusinga, frente a su costa occidental la isla de Mfangano y frente a su costa oriental una península del condado de Siaya. Era una pequeña aldea dedicada a la pesca hasta que en 2005 se le dotó de agua corriente y electricidad con la intención de construir una ciudad portuaria y turística en esta zona del lago. En los primeros años del siglo XXI, ha crecido notablemente con varias urbanizaciones, hasta el punto de que el territorio de su administración local ha llegado a superar en población a la capital condal Homa Bay. Alberga uno de los centros de investigación del Centro Internacional de Fisiología y Ecología de los Insectos. (es) Mbita est une ville du comté de Homa Bay et le chef-lieu du au Kenya.

Mbita Point has an urban population of 6100, but the population grows rapidly due to urbanization, new technologies like cell phone coverage and internet connection through cyber cafes, electrification, trade and education.[1] The town was the capital of the former Suba District. Mbita can be reach by road Kisumu-Ahero--Kendu Bay-Homa Bay (150 km) or from Kisumu- (90 km) and a 45-minute ferry ride across Winam Gulf. This latter road was tarmacked in 2011. The main income-generating activity in Mbita is fishing, but tourism is becoming a new trade as the road connections to the rest of the country is being improved. There is a tourist resort on the beach about 3 km to the south of the town, Lake Victoria Safari Village and Mfangano island camp which is located on a nearby island. This can be connected by the ferry which leaves from Mbita twice a day at 10:30 and 17:00 [2]. Ruma National Park is a 40-minute drive from Mbita. A causeway links Mbita to nearby Rusinga Island. The causeway was built in 2017. (en) Mbita Point är huvudort i distriktet Suba i provinsen Nyanza i Kenya. Staden ligger vid Victoriasjöns strand.
