 Mfangano
Island
Mfangano Island Camp is an oasis
of tranquility located on the
unspoilt Mfangano Island in Lake
Victoria and occupies an entire
secluded bay on the western shores
of the island. Beautiful gardens
with flowerbeds surround the camp.
The island has just one road and
no other hotels to disturb the
peace. The only way to reach Mfangano
Island is by light aircraft, an
adventure in itself. You land
on a dusty airstrip, then it’s
a short ride by speedboat to the
camp. The camp features an open
sitting room with bar and dining
room with panoramic views over
the lake and a small swimming
pool made of natural stone overlooking
the lake. All the buildings are
in the local Luo tribal style,
walls of smoothed mud and clay,
roofs of thatch and banana leaf
- cool and airy.
Accommodation is offered in six
rooms with ensuite bathrooms which
are set close to the water's edge
and decorated with local handcrafts.
Guests at the camp can go fishing,
enjoy bird watching, explore the
island as well as visit enchanting
villages on the island. |

Island Lodge
Located on the shores of Lake
Victoria, Rusinga Island Lodge
is a place of tranquility and
beauty which offers revitalisation
before, between or after a hot
dusty safari. Its manicured lawns

for 270 species of local and migratory
birds. Breakfast and lunch are
usually served under sweeping
fig trees in the garden whilst
dinners are taken either in the
dining area, by the floodlit pool
or on the jetty.
Accommodation is offered in eight
luxurious cottages with high thatched
roofs and spacious patios looking
out over the lush gardens and
beyond the lake. Guests at the
lodge can enjoy a range of water
sports in the lake's warm waters
or indulge themselves at the spa
which offers a range of pampering
treatments while children can
release their energy in the spacious
grounds. |
