Rubondo Island Camp is the only lodge on Rubondo Island, Africa’s largest island national park. Tropical forests provide a protected habitat for wildlife that includes sitatunga, elephants, giraffes, 200 species of birds, and wild chimpanzees. The deep waters of Lake Victoria also offer spectacular fishing for record-breaking Nile perch. Meals are served outside at the main lodge area, with the lapping waves of Lake Victoria marking the passing hours of island life. Spend the afternoon relaxing in a hammock with binoculars and a bird guide, or cool off in the swimming pool. When the sun dips below the horizon, watch the hippo emerge from the water to graze on the fringes of camp.
