In the 90s, a palatial home built by one of Kisii’s wealthy families attracted lots of attention. The house is massive that it almost looked out of place in a small town. At that time, a handful of wealthy families owned such mansions that had huge balconies, lush gardens and more than six bedrooms.
As the rich homeowners grow older and their children leave the nest, some have been forced to lease out the mansions to hotel investors.
