In the southwest of Lake Victoria lies Rubondo Island, an extraordinary example of wildlife conservation. It’s Africa’s largest island national park at 26km long and up to 10 km wide. More than 75 percent of the island is covered in pristine equatorial rainforest. Since the 1960s, the island has been a haven for wild chimpanzees, sitatunga antelope, elephants, and giraffes. Just South-West of the world’s second biggest lake, Lake Victoria which connects Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda, lies Rubondo National Park on Rubondo Island. Overseeing the nine tinier islands, Rubondo Island serves as a breeding area for fish in the area.
While ninety percent of the park consists of forest, the other ten percent includes landscapes of wide savannahs sandy shores to swamps of papyrus by the lake. These environments make for a plethora of wildlife in Rubondo National Park. When looking at the water, you will see yellow-spotted otters catching tilapia as their primary form of nutrition or fishermen anxious to catch Nile perch. As this species of fish can weigh over 100 kilograms, this would be a great coup for any avid fisher.
