Rubondo Island Camp, Tanzania
Rubondo Island is a large island on Lake Victoria in western Tanzania. It has been a national park for many years, but until recently has been left undisturbed. Now it is billed as a Lake Victoria fishing paradise, haven for chimpanzees, elephants, 300+ birds species, and even bizarrely as it sounds…a few giraffes. The fishing was non-existent, the chimps are not habituated, the elephants and giraffes not to been seen. The camp is nice enough but I’m giving this location a ‘stay tuned’ – great things could be coming together on Rubondo but it hasn’t quite hit its stride yet in our opinion.
