About Rubondo Island

Rubondo Island National Park occupies a remote wooded island in the southwestern corner of Lake Victoria, accessible only by boat or light aircraft. The island serves as a remarkable sanctuary for chimpanzees introduced in the 1960s, offering one of Africa's most unique experiences — tracking habituated chimps on foot alongside elephants and sitatunga antelopes. Fishing for Nile perch and tigerfish in the surrounding lake waters is another major draw.
