The island attracts a small number of visitors each year, mainly game fishermen and bird enthusiasts. Rubondo Island became a game reserve in 1965, to provide a sanctuary for animals. Rubondo Island was gazetted as a national park in 1977. Today Rubondo is uninhabited. Consequently, 80% of the island remains forested today. The 400 \u201cfisher folk\u201d, who lived on the island and maintained banana plantations, were resettled on neighbouring islands and onto the mainland by the government in the late 1960s.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rubondo Island is located in the southwestern corner of Lake Victoria, Tanzania. Rubondo Island is about 150 km (93 mi) west of Mwanza. The main island, Rubondo (2o 18\u2032 S, 31o 50\u2032 E) is 237 km2 in size. The island protects another 11 islets, none much larger than 2 km2. These 10 islands form the Rubondo Island National Park covering an area of 456.8 km2 (176.4 sq mi).<\/p><h3>Park Activities<\/h3><p>Fishing, Bird Watching, Walking Safaris, (Rangers required.\u00a0 Can be arranged in advance through Park Office, visitors are advised to carry some dry stuff while going for long walks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TAILOR MADE SAFARI Rubondo Island National Park is Tanzania\u2019s only park on Lake Victoria.
