Rubondo Island National Park

Rubondo Island is tucked in the southwest corner of Lake Victoria, the world’s second largest lake,. With eleven smaller islands under its wing, Rubondo protects precious fish breeding grounds. Tasty tilapia form the staple diet of the yellow spotted otters that frolic in the island’s rocky coves, while rapacious Nile perch, some weighing more than 100kg, tempt recreational game fishermen seeking world record catches.
Rubondo is more than a water wonderland. Deserted sandy beaches nestle against a cloak of virgin forest, where dappled bushbuck move fleet yet silent through a maze of tamarinds, wild palms, and sycamore figs strung with a cage of trailing taproots. 

The best time to visit is during the dry season from June to October for easier wildlife viewing, while the wet season  November to May is ideal for birdwatching.
