Located in the southwest of Lake Victoria, Rubondo Island is Africa’s largest island national park.

The park spans the main Rubondo island and 11 smaller islands covering 457 square meters. The main island is 26 kilometers long and 80% of its surface is covered by pristine, untouched forest, fringed with soft sandy beaches. There are no villages here, so the only inhabitants are park rangers, researchers, and the staff and guests of Rubondo Island Camp.

The water surrounding the island is rich with fish including tilapia and the Nile perch.
