4-Day The Primate Edition - Rubondo Island

Set off early for the airport for your (Time) flight to Rubondo Island on Tanzania’s Lake Victoria, a flight of approximately …. hours, stopping en route at Mwanza/Bukoba to complete immigration formalities. The friendly team from Rubondo Island Camp await you and will drive you through the forest to the camp, where you can relax before a leisurely lunch overlooking the lake. This afternoon, you can choose from a relaxing time beside the swimming pool, or learning about the island’s chimpanzees in The Nest information Centre, or enjoying a guided nature walk if you wish to stretch your legs. The island is home to a wide variety of unique wildlife including sitatunga, African grey parrot, forest elephant and spotted-necked otters. Each of the 8 individually crafted cottages are shaded by lush indigenous forest, while Lake Victoria winks her welcome through the trees. The small and exclusive camp offers unrivalled access to this one-of-a-kind destination, with forest walks, game-watching, birding excursions, canoe trips, trekking through wild and unexplored forest territory, catch-and-release fishing, and a host of other eco-sensitive activities. Elephants roam wild, colorful birds and butterflies flit through the boughs of pristine indigenous forest, and the waters teem with the iconic Nile perch. This unique corner of Africa may be the ultimate destination for those seeking the ultimate wilderness adventure.
