In the southwest corner of Lake Victoria lies an extraordinary example of wildlife conservation, Rubondo Island National Park. Rubondo Island at its widest is 10km and at its longest 26km with more than 75% covered in pristine and untouched equatorial rainforest.
The island and her forest is a haven for wild chimpanzee, sitatunga antelope, elephant and giraffe.
Rubondo Island Camp is the only accommodation establishment on the island, therefore, offering all guests the ultimate in exclusivity and privacy when on safari.
Please note, the only way of getting here is by chartered light aircraft and of interest, one can fly in directly from Kigali to easily combine this wild island escape with an epic gorilla encounter in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park.
Eight thatched-roofed cottages (including one larger family cottage) are all situated on the waterfront of Lake Victoria. All cottages offer high ceilings, a private terrace overlooking the lake, king-sized beds (with mosquito netting), en-suite bathrooms with indoor shower, basin and flushing toilet.
the team in the kitchen at Rubondo Island Camp will stun and delight one with aa delicious array of freshly prepared cuisine, whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner. One is in for a right royal treat when staying here on this almost private island.
Meals are served al fresco on the main deck overlooking the beach, where you can relax with your toes in the sand
