Mfangano Island
Africa's Great Lake — a freshwater island escape hidden in plain sight.
About Mfangano Island
Mfangano is the second-largest Kenyan island on Lake Victoria, a rocky emerald in the middle of Africa's biggest lake. It's quiet, car-free in most places, and home to Bantu communities with ancient rock-art sites. The Victoria Run Mfangano pairs trail running along volcanic ridges with lake swimming, boat rides, and fishing community visits. A world away from Nairobi without leaving Kenya.
