Rubondo Island Camp is a luxury safari camp located on Rubondo Island in a corner of Lake Victoria in Tanzania. The camp is the only accommodation in the region, and so offers a truly authentic wilderness experience. It is made up of eight luxurious lakefront cottages that blend wonderfully with the lush, leafy surrounds. The island is home to a remarkable variety of wildlife species, from elephants and giraffes to birds and butterflies, while the waters are home to hippos and crocodiles, as well as the iconic Nile perch fish. Each cottage features en suite facilities with hot water and flushing toilets. The lodge’s main area is where delicious meals are served, and where guests can spend ages relaxing at the pool, watching the wildlife in the surrounding wilderness. There are a host of activities on offer, including game drives, guided walks, canoeing and fishing, as well as catch and release fishing and boating. Guests can also embark on a chimpanzee habituation experience, for a chance to observe these creatures in their natural habitat. The island is also a paradise for birders, with over 200 species recorded.
