Rubondo Island National Park is located in Tanzania, in the southwestern part of Lake Victoria. The park covers an area of about 457 square kilometers, which is mainly comprised of the Rubondo Island and several smaller islands in the Lake Victoria.
Rubondo Island National Park is known for its pristine natural beauty, unique wildlife, and a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, birdwatching, fishing, and water sports. The park is also home to several endangered species, such as the chimpanzees, African grey parrots, and several species of antelope, including sitatunga and the rare sitatunga antelope.
The best time to visit Rubondo Island National Park is during the dry season, which runs from June to September. During this time, the weather is mild and pleasant, with little to no rain, making it an ideal time to enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and game drives. However, due to the park's location near Lake Victoria, there may be some rain even during the dry season, so it's important to pack accordingly.
