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.
