Rusinga Island Lodge

A place of infinite beauty to calm the mind and rejuvenate the body, Rusinga provides a welcome break before, during or after a rigorous and exciting East African safari. Exuding an atmosphere of serene tranquility, Rusinga's manicured lawns stretch to Lake Victoria's edge.

Rusinga's grounds, with its exotic trees, are haven for a myriad of bird species, many of which are unique to this small corner of Kenya. These spacious grounds offer a safe environment for children to release energy and the more active to catch up on exercise.

Rusinga's renowned hospitality; delicious home-grown, home-cooked food; and indulgent accommodation combine to offer an ideal base from which to explore other areas of East Africa.

A private retreat in one of Africas most remote and historical corners, Rusinga Island Lodge nestles on Rusinga Island, in the legendary Lake Victoria - the worlds second largest freshwater lake and destination of many intrepid 19th century explorers - in Western Kenya.

Rusinga is 80 miles due west of the famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve.

With their high-thatched roofs, spacious verandahs overlooking lush gardens and the sparkling waters of Lake Victoria beyond, Rusinga’s accommodation comprises six self-contained cottages plus a family cottage with twin room and double room with an interconnecting door.

Bedrooms are either double (with a king size bed) or twin (with two queen size beds) with a living area and dressing area.

Oversized, en-suite bathrooms have double basins and walk-in, soup-plate showers.

Combining intimate charm and privacy with the highest level of personal comfort, the cottages are crafted from local materials.
