Life at Rusinga Island Lodge revolves around the lake and the region's birds. From stately Fish Eagles to tiny iridescent Sunbirds and arrow-fast Kingfishers, The Lodge is truly a bird lover's paradise. The well-watered park like grounds are home to more than 369 species of local and migratory birds, many not found in other parts of Kenya. Throughout the day, from dusk to dawn, the air is filled with an enchanting chorus of bird calls and songs. You don't have to go anywhere to find the birds, they are right there in front you.
