Rubondo Island Camp is in a National Park on the south west corner of Lake Victoria, Tanzania.
It is an untouched sub-tropical forest, protected by the lake that surrounds it.
The main island is 26 km long and ranges from 3 km to 10 km in width and is surrounded by beaches and rocky coves, it is the habitat of wild chimpanzee, elephant, giraffe, vervet monkeys, crocodile and hippo.
This exclusive lake front property, is ensconced under a shady forest canopy with superb views across Lake Victoria. It is the only accommodation on what is the largest Island National park in the world and nestles beneath the shade of huge trees just 60 metres from the sandy lake shore.
