Located just across the waters of Lake Victoria from Rusinga Island Lodge, Ruma National Park, Kenya is a remote and unusual place.
Beautiful Ruma National Park has the last remaining group of Roan Antelope, known for their magnificent facial markings and horns; a variety of other wildlife can also be seen here. Guests are unlikely to see other visitors due to the remoteness of this park.
Rusinga Island Lodge is a private retreat situated in a peaceful corner of Kenya, 80 miles due west of the Masai Mara. Those on an East African safari will love the contrast of the stunning lake and Ruma National Park, Kenya.
