What you can expect

Lake victoria is the largest fresh water lake in Africa and the second largest lake in the world. It borders three east African countries Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The aim of organising this experience is to offer a unique blend of Natural beauty, Cultural experiences and recreational activities to our guests. Lake victoria is a diverse ecosystem, home to a variety of bird species, unique fishing spots and vibrant local communities. It provides our guest with great opportunity for wildlife viewing.

There are five activities during this experience;

  1. Boat riding. This is the common activity for leisure and exploration. Our boat is safe and super clean. It is a relaxing way to enjoy Nature as you experience the tranquil beauty of Lake victoria waters.

  2. Birdwatching. You will have the recreational activity of observing birds in their natural habitat as you continue with boatriding along the shores. This will be the fun way to enjoy nature and learn more about many local birdlife.

  3. Hippo viewing. You will observe the hippos as you learn more about their environment, behaviour and ecological role. Kindly note that the hippos are very territorial and sometimes they may not be easily located.

  4. Community walk. You will have a walking tour within the Dunga Beach perimeter. Dunga village is a fisher community where the main economic activity is fishing. Dunga serves as a fishing port with a spectacular site of boats unloading their catch and buyers scrambling for the best price.

  5. Restaurant/cafeteria Finally we will have a short rest and soft drinks / local foods as we tell you more about the community. We are very flexible and can customise this experience to match your interests.
