I spent two days on Ukerewe Island with Harun. He met me in the port and took to the accommodation and soon we started biking. We visited viewpoints, villages, beaches and even a smaller nearby island with fishermen village. Harun is a very friendly person and speaks English well. The bikes were in good condition too. I can fully recommend the trip! Ukerewe is a hidden gem of Lake Victoria. Thanks for everything, Jakub Tereza Tomiskova2024-09-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wanted to ride a bike around the Ukerewe island. Harun helped me to rent a bike, showed me nice spots around Nansio and a very nice view point little bit further from the hill. He knew a nice place to stay in a cottage place on the private beach on a half way. Harun is very friendly and speaks good English so it was a pleasure to spend time with him. JUMA E.
