Rubondo Island National Park

An island of forest, sheltered shores and birdlife in the waters of Lake Victoria.
Rubondo Island National Park — Tanzania

A closer look

Rubondo Island National Park sits in Lake Victoria. Forest, shoreline and wetland habitats give the island a character far removed from the classic savannah safari, with birdlife and quiet waters at the centre of the experience.

Explore with park-authorised guides and take time for the island setting. Activities and wildlife programmes depend on current arrangements, so we plan each visit around the camp and experiences that are available for your dates.

Best time to visit

Weather, lake conditions and camp operations affect the visit. Confirm the best timing for your chosen island activities.

Getting here

Access is by a planned air connection or road-and-boat route. Final transfers depend on the camp and current operating arrangements.
