Boat safari on the water — Fishing in Lake Victoria Islands

Fishing is one of the signature ways to experience Lake Victoria Islands — we build realistic day plans around season, drive times, and permit rules so the activity fits your wider Uganda safari.

Boat excursions give water-level views of hippos, crocodiles, and riverside mammals that game drives may miss. Life jackets, park fees, and guide tips are typically bundled into lodge or operator quotes — we confirm timing with your road transfers.
