Rubondo is a forested island sanctuary in Lake Victoria where rainforest meets quiet bays, beaches and rich birdlife. The island’s isolation gives the safari a distinctly different rhythm from mainland Tanzania.
The experience
Forest walks, boat excursions and wildlife viewing reveal a landscape shaped by water. Rubondo is particularly known for chimpanzees, sitatunga, elephants, giraffes and birdlife, making it an elegant extension for travellers who want a nature-focused finale after a mainland safari.
We can also combine this destination with other parks, reserves, cities or coastal experiences where the routing makes sense.
