A Little History of Wayando
We are always asked about how we came to be on Rusinga Island. The story is a long one we have posted on the wall behind the bar. Linda Campbell Tilton from Washington, D.C. and Thadayo Olewa Okatch, a 1961 airliftee from Rusinga sponsored by Tom Mboya, were married in 1965 in Kansas and their son Otieno was born in 1967. Thadayo died in 1968 in the USA. Wayando Beach Eco Lodge is a tribute to their unfinished love story. Feel free to ask Linda questions.
