The undulating rise and fall of the little hills and valleys that awash the island makes the scenic views of this topography unrivalled. The local community surrounding the park call the island Chula Rabour. Chula – Island, Rabour- Red thus Red Island. The Themeda grass species whose mature flowers turn reddish in color virtually cover the island, and thus the ‘’red island’’. This Park was largely established to provide refuge for small populations of impalas. Other species found here include African fish eagles, swifts, hippopotamus, Nile crocodiles, impalas and zebras. Ndere means “meeting place” in the local Dholuo (Luo language).
Begin your adventure with a boat ride and set out for a camping expedition on the island across the intensely deep waters of Ndere Island National Park. Drink into the stunning views of the blood laced sundowner, set camp and by evening convene by the inviting warmth of the campfire, make merry and memories. Wrap yourself in the quiet that is both calming as it is exhilarating. Soak in the kind of silence that gives you space to enjoy the calls of wildlife, near and far as darkness takes over until the glorious dawn. The panoramic views of the rolling hills of Homa to the South of the island offer islanders scenic views of this side of the country. Visitors can enjoy hiking, boating, game viewing, team building, sport fishing, bird watching, camping and picnicking.
