It's probably the most dangerous island in Uganda | The island full of deadly cobras
Musambwa is an island on Lake Victoria in Uganda. It is inhabited only by men - and snakes. About a thousand deadly cobras inhabit the Island. These are seen by the fishermen who live there as spirits, rather than just snakes. Women are not allowed to stay on this Island, and when they visit, they cannot spend the night. Musambwa is also home to over 150,000 birds which give the Island a rather particular sound. The name of the Island, Musambwa, means spirits. Its traditions are rather strict. No one is allowed to cut down a tree for any reason. Birds that call this Island home, too, shouldn't be killed, and their eggs must not be eaten.

Migingo Island, Africa | The Fishing Paradise
Migingo Island, Africa | The Fishing Paradise
Our life is full of contradiction - sometimes vast areas remain virtually untapped human. This is what happened with a small island called Migingo, which is situated in African Lake Victoria, the size of island is 2,000-square-meter or 0.49-acre. The Lake Victoria, one of the world’s biggest bodies of fresh water, which 30 million impoverished Africans depend on for their survival, may be running out of these fish. According to a recent study, Nile perch stocks are down by nearly 70 percent, threatening a crucial industry worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Migingo island area can only be compared with the size of a regular football field, but the population of this island is only 300. Active development of these places started relatively recently - even before 1991, there were only rocky shores, greenly and reptiles zone. But in the adjacent waters vodilsya is very valuable fish species and large quantities of Nile Perch.
The story of this island is quite interesting, In 2008-09 this island was claimed by Uganda and Kenya, But territorial ownership of the island has been consistently shown on map and language of official as Kenya. The Ugandan protests revolve around the lucrative fishing rights, mostly for valuable Nile perch, and Ugandan waters come within about 510 metres or 1,670 ft of the island. In July 2009 the Ugandan government shifted its official position, stating that while Migingo Island was Kenyan, much of the waters near it were Ugandan, but continued to point out that Kenyan fisherman were illegally fishing in Ugandan waters which lie about 500 meters to the west of Migingo, the Ugandan flag was lowered, Uganda withdrew its military troops, and agreed that all its police officers would leave the island.
Today almost all the inhabitants of the island are somehow related to fishing - every day from coast to cast off more than a hundred boats with gear, and local bazaars conducted a brisk trade in freshly caught fish. Cash momentum on this small piece of land is just crazy and make millions of dollars, because perch are exported to the mainland and from there exported to EU countries. Despite the huge earnings by African standards - about three hundred dollars a day - the locals live in appalling conditions. Their shacks are built of metal sheets and wood, and life leaves much to be desired. But on Migingo has several bars, a pharmacy and even a beauty salon!
The much larger Usingo Island is 200 metres or 660 ft to the east of the small white rectangle that is Migingo, and Pyramid Island, the largest of the three, is 2 kilometres or 1.2 mi due south of Migingo and 11 kilometres or 6.8 mi north of the Tanzanian border in Lake Victoria. On detailed maps, all three islands have been shown on the Kenyan side since the 1920s, when the Kenya Colony and Protectorate Order in Council, 1926 awarded all three islands to Kenya. Today, it is still just a hazy bump on the horizon when seen from shore, though more than 300 people live there, mostly Kenyan fishermen. Migingo may be smaller than a football field but it boasts half a dozen bars, discos and brothels.
Two Kenyan fishermen, Dalmas Tembo and George Kibebe, claim to have been the first inhabitants on the island. When they settled there in 1991, it was covered with weeds and infested with birds and snakes. Joseph Nsubuga, a Ugandan fisherman, says he settled on Migingo in 2004, when all he found on the island was an abandoned house. Subsequently, other fishermen — from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania — came to the island because of its proximity to fishing grounds rich with Nile perch. An unusual claim in 2009 by some Kenyan fishermen was that since none of the Nile perch breed in Uganda (the nearest Ugandan land and nearest Ugandan freshwater is 85 kilometres or 53 mile away), then the fish somehow belonged to Kenyans.

World's Densest Island: Exploring Santa Cruz del Islote
While the Casa en el Agua hostel is amazing, it's not the only interesting place Colombia has to offer in the Caribbean! ????????
A short boat ride from the hostel is Santa Crus de Islote, the most densely populated island in the world!¹ While visiting, I even got to jump into a pool filled with sharks and stingrays!
L'île insolite et étonnante de Migingo.
Migingo (aussi appelé Bugingo ou Ugingo) est un îlot d'environ 5000 m2 (un terrain de football mesure 7140 m2), situé sur le lac Victoria.
Alors que, depuis 1926, la situation territoriale de l'île est systématiquement montrée sur les cartes et documents officiels comme kényane, l'île a fait l'objet, entre 2008 et 2009, d'une bataille juridique entre le Kenya et l'Ouganda.
Si les deux plus grandes îles sont totalement inhabitées, environ 400 personnes, pour la plupart des pêcheurs (kényans, tanzaniens et ougandais) et des revendeurs de poisson, vivent sur Migingo.
L'habitat, qui comporte quatre bistros, plusieurs lupanars, un poste de police et une pharmacie, occupe l'entièreté de l'île.

Robben Island
Recorded April 26, 2012
Robben Island is an island in Table Bay off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa. It is of particular note that it was here that Nobel Laureate and former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela and former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe, alongside many other political prisoners, spent 27 years imprisoned during the apartheid era. Among those political prisoners was current South African President Jacob Zuma who was imprisoned there for ten years. In the video I tour the island and prison. At the end of the video I visit Drakenstein Correctional Centre which was formerly Victor Verster Prison, the prison from which Nelson Mandela was released.

Namibia, The Shining Diamond of Africa (Full Documentary)
Namibia is called “Africa’s Best-Kept Secret,” and at Diamonds International, we have worked hard to maintain this special country’s way of life while working with its people to develop unexpected designs, cuts, and stones to offer the world.

Diamonds International has sourced its stones from some of the most fascinating places on the planet, and in this video, Hon. Pohamba Shifeta speaks to the wonders of Namibia – from the warmth of its people to the greatness of its landscape.

Uganda - Ssese Islands
At Pearl Gardens Beach Resort on Bugala Island - In the morning, we stepped out of the lodge and there it was, Victoria Lake with lots of little islands! Everything reminded me of being by the sea rather than by a lake… We checked out the resort. All a bit old fashioned and worn out, but with a pool and open fire place where people would party every night – we’d heard them the night before. Lots of wonderful flowers, chicken running around, the cows and pigs from the neighbour, exotic birds, a beach - that we wouldn't use because of the Schistosomiasis, also known as snail fever and bilharzia. You can only swim in the lake when you take medication beforehand... for me - a lost paradise.
We’d booked a boat tour in the afternoon to see more of the islands. Our guide, fisherman Mike, was late, but he and his coworker seemed to be funny and nice. Mike showed us the islands, explained to us the resort, informed us about real estate prices – we had asked – and so, we started a discussion about rich white chicks from America and poor African guys. Claudia was so funny! Again – some Uganda people think there is nothing else than rich white America and poor black Africa…
Mike showed us a palm oil plantation – see in the film – and he wanted to teach us how to fish – in the film as well. I told him that I won’t kill a fish. Claudia replied that she’d do it – for our dinner. Mike was confused when Claudia told him that in Germany the women kill the chicken and the fish to make dinner. She and him were teasing around quite a bit. And I think Mike was very impressed by Claudia and her courage! At the end of our boat tour, Mike absolutely wanted her phone number – While spending time with Claudia in Uganda she received marriage proposals every day!
