This boat trip lasts a total of about 90 minutes giving views of the Lake like you have never seen before. Enjoy the beauty of Lake Victoria with small boats of fishermen scattered all over the place and those using the strings.

DAY TWO: Travel to Ngamba Island.
After an early breakfast in the morning, we shall embark on our journey to Ngamba Island, a sanctuary and home where over 49 Orphaned chimpanzees are held in reserve since their return to their habitat is not possible. The exercise will run for entire day, and here expect to participate in various activities like being “the care giver of the day” that is helping the staff to feed the chimpanzees as well as checking their health status at that time.
After we shall have lunch, later also have a stopover at the Equator line to observe your boat being pushed by forces from both the North & South Pole, making it seem to be in one place. If you are keen enough, you will notice that the boat engine uses more energy in order to sail past the Equator line crossing. Alternatively, for those who would enjoy a swim in the waters, a chance shall be granted before continuing to the mainland. Thereafter, the guide will transfer you back to your hotel/lodge of residence.
