October in Busia is the soft season — short rains, green fields, cool evenings. We keep it that way: wheelchair-friendly paths, a shaded mama-and-baby tent, free water points, a quiet corner for elders, and yes — good dogs on leashes are welcome at the picnic lawn.
ATC Grounds, Busia Town — 400m off the Kisumu–Busia highway.
