There are lots of fun family activities for all to enjoy at Rusinga Island Lodge.

Equipment is available for all age groups for water-skiing, mono-skiing, knee-boarding, tubing and mountain biking. There are many walks available around the island or, for the more adventurous, take a short boat ride to Mfangano Island and then hike uphill to explore ancient rock art.

Alternatively why not take a walk around the beautiful Rusinga Island Lodge grounds with their exotic trees, flowers and birds, many of which are unique to the area. A wide stretch of velvet green lawn grows to the water's edge, dotted with huge ancient wild fig trees on the shores of Lake Victoria.

The friendly Luo community fish along the shores in their colourful canoes and sailing dhows. The Lodge's guests are welcome to visit their villages where the night's catch is set out to dry in the sun and larger fish are smoked.

You can also take a boat trip to Bird Islands where thousands of water birds roost. Giant monitor lizards and spotted neck otters can often be seen in family groups around the island.
