Overview
Rubondo Island sits in Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake, its dense forest interior home to a population of chimpanzees reintroduced from zoos and sanctuaries decades ago, now thriving in the wild. With only one small camp on the island, visitor numbers stay naturally low, and days unfold around forest walks, boat-based birdwatching and some of the best freshwater sport fishing in the region โ a quiet, distinctive detour from the standard safari circuit.
