The lovely Lake Victoria is the setting for a holiday that’s about as far away from it all as you can possibly get. It’s the world’s second largest freshwater lake and is the magical source of the Nile. A century ago European explorers risked their lives to claim this prize for their Empires. It was famed as the pearl of Africa.

The Lake is rich in fish and birdlife, it’s islands lush and verdant. The deep blue waters support an abundant ecosystem. It’s shores are lined with groves of banana trees and fishing villages where you’ll always be greeted with a friendly smile and a wave. The chance to catch the giant Nile perch draws many. Some come for the abundant birds, fish eagles, kingfishers and pelicans, others to glimpse the playful otters.
