Ukerewe Island is a special place and Dickinson makes this magic happen. If you’re going to the island then Dickson and his beautiful homestay lodge is beautiful. Everyday you wake up with nature, even the milk in your coffee is from the family’s cow. I even made friends with the chickens every morning who will introduce themselves to you. Dickson cooks fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner and be hungry! Everything on your plate will be naturally grown on the island, not forgotten the mango and avocado trees in the garden. Vegetarians and vegans can live in heaven here which isn’t always easy in Africa. In the set up, there are some naturally basic bungalows which perfectly suit the environment. In addition, Dickson is the king of the guides here and certified with the ministry of tourism. His passion for culture and history of the island is abundant and he will introduce you to everything on the island especially with fascinating tribal anecdotes. Villages and communities are involved and cared for with tourism originating in the homestay, especially the schools and orphanage. I couldn’t have wished for any more. Thank you Dickson!
