Rubondo Island Camp has potential. But the chimpanzees on the island are yet to be habituated making them quite elusive. The finishing is said to be great but the when we visited they managers were not enthusiastic about it. So with time and motivation this could be a fun and unique stop. It is however a fun retreat like spot on lake Victoria for those seeking a chill experience.

At Rubondo Island Camp the sunlight glinting off Lake Victoria will be your alarm call. Or perhaps a Fish Eagle will rouse you from your slumber, beckoning you to a day of island wilderness adventure. From the lakefront location to the eco-friendly design of the eight luxurious cottages, Rubondo Island Camp immerses you in the unique ecosystem of the largest island national park in Africa. Lush indigenous forest shades the private cottages – each crafted by hand from local materials, to ensure they blend seamlessly into this unspoiled landscape. A hammock sways in the gentle breezes coming in off the Lake, while the swimming pool vies for your attention.
Lace up your boots for island adventure, wander down to the nearby beach, or simply settle into an armchair with binoculars and a bird guide and let the wildlife come to you. At Rubondo, the wilderness is never far off.
The lapping waves will be the ticking clock marking off the passing hours of island life. As the sun dips, barrel-chested hippos emerge to graze on the fringes of camp. As birds sing their roosting lullabies, guests gather in the stylish dining area for a taste of Africa and to swop tales from the day. Moonlight plays on the waters of the Lake as you drift off to sleep. Get some rest; the eagles will be rousing you soon enough.
