On an island off the north eastern shores of Lake Victoria, Rusinga Island Lodge is a quiet retreat in one of Africa's most remote and historical corners, the perfect respite between or after the rigours of any safari. The lake's calm waters lap up to the lodge's semi-tropical gardens abounding with a myriad of vibrantly coloured birds, the air sweet with frangipani and jasmine.

BEAUTY AND BIRDSONG

Combining intimate charm and privacy with the highest levels of personal comfort, the 8 stone and thatch cottages all have a verandah overlooking the lake. A place of peace, quiet and beauty, life at the lodge revolves around the lake and the island�s more than 270 species of birds, from stately fish eagles to tiny iridescent sunbirds. Rusinga truly is a bird-lovers paradise.
