Nestled on the shores of Lake Victoria lies the boutique Rubondo Island Camp, which provides a rare opportunity to explore Africa’s most noteworthy island national park.

Unique adventures and exclusive experiences in a pristine environment await on the magnificently forested Rubondo Island. Enjoy walks through this sub-tropical ecosystem where dappled light dances through the canopy, highlighting every shade of green imaginable, accompanied by the never-ending chorus of insects and birds.

The lush tropical forest is teeming with life, including chimpanzee, Colobus monkey, elephant, and over 300 bird species including fish eagle and African grey parrot. In the afternoons, unwind in a hammock and dip in the swimming pool, or head out onto the water to enjoy bird watching safari along the shoreline or catch-and-release fishing safari in the deeper waters. In the evenings, savour drinks on the tranquil beach before hippo emerge from the water after sunset to munch on the grass surrounding the camp. Immerse yourself in genuine experiential travel. Various exciting activities such as walking, boating, fishing, game drives, birding and chimpanzee trekking cater to a myriad interests. Rubondo Island is a profound and soulful encounter, not a destination, but rather something that must be experienced to be understood.
