Rubondo Island National Park
Officially Tanzania's smallest national park, tiny Rubondo Island in the heart of Africa's largest lake packs a lot into its 240 square km. Known as the Jewel of Victoria, Rubondo Island National Park boasts a unique diversity of flora and fauna, including the endemic Sitatunga.
Other animals you're likely to spot in the park include hippos, otters, bushbucks, mongoose, elephants, suni antelope, and a variety of primates that have even been known to include the park's resident chimpanzee population.
In addition to all of this animal life, the park is also a recognised destination for bird lovers, with a huge variety of birdlife calling the forested island home.
