We recommend that you set aside time to stay at the mid-range accommodation of Mfangano Island Camp at Lake Victoria as your much-anticipated East African wildlife safari is sure to leave you feeling exhilarated and bushed. Lake Victoria is a pictorial freshwater lake on the western frontier of Kenya, and the camp is the perfect place to rejuvenate.

The 6 rondavels at the camp include four double and two twin guest rooms built of clay and thatch. Inside your guest room, you feel as if you are on an idyllic island with the outstanding hospitality of the staff ensuring that your every need is met. A four-poster bed is the utmost in comfort when you need to rest from your exploratory tour of Lake Victoria with AfricanMecca, and the full en-suite bathroom includes hot and cold running water to fill your bathtub or take a shower, as well as basin and flush toilet.



The rich colors accented with neutral tones and furnishings create an elegant ambience. For the utmost in romance during your special couple’s holiday in Kenya, choose the Honeymoon Suite that features 360-degree views of the lake that you enjoy from the comfort of your bed. Families especially enjoy Mfangano Camp, as the accommodation is very child-friendly and safe.

Each guest room sits next to the lake, and you spend the early morning relaxing on your private verandah watching the fishing boats sail on the lake while birds sing their delightful morning songs. A lovely cup of freshly brewed tea or coffee arrives with your wake-up call, signaling the time to get ready for your day.



Join the resident ornithologist to discuss your wondrous Kenyan birdwatching vacation experience, and set off by boat or on foot to explore all that Mfangano Island and Lake Victoria have to offer. Motorized boats are available for the lake tours, and you may observe African fish eagles, kingfishers, weavers and many other avi-fauna, including species that are found in no other location in Kenya.



If you choose a walking tour of the island to gather your bearings a bit before more adventurous excursions, your assigned AfricanMecca guide takes you to see ancient rock art in Mawanga Cave and Kwitone, a foothill on the island (read more on when is the best time to visit Lake Victoria).



Return to camp for an out-of-this-world breakfast served on the outdoor verandah or lawn, and then return to your cottage for a bit more relaxation. In between lunch and afternoon tea, lounge by the infinity pool, find a shady place to read or visit with other guests in the lounge to share stories of your incredible western Kenya trip in Lake Victoria.



In the afternoon, take another boat tour for a fishing experience and then return to camp to deliver your catch for dinner and also to experience one of the most awe-inspiring vistas during any wilderness travel in Africa -- watching the sunset while sipping your cocktail. A superb dinner of tasty fish or meats, salads, rice, freshly baked bread and other wonderful dishes complements a glass of wine, taking you into a restful and comfortable state of mind.
