Beautiful spot ! We stayed in a tent with a river view and it was so amazing ! You have your own private tent with a little balcony area to chill ! So many monkeys playing around in the trees ! Lots of activities to do , rafting, kayaking, tubing, boat cruise, paddle boarding ! Sunset view is really nice ! They have a giant slide to use and a swimming area in the Nile! Staff was always very nice ! Washrooms were always clean ! Good free breakfast and great French press coffee ( probably the best coffee I had in Uganda ) ! I only ate at the restaurant for breakfast which was good . Right outside the gates there is a local street with a few vendors selling traditional food so we ate there a lot as we enjoy traditional food and was cheap - 3 Rolex vendors , chicken and chips vendor , coffee spot , lunch spots that serve matoke , beans, eats and 4-8pm little stand with posho , rice , beans , cabbage , really good !!!! Easy to get two from Jinja you can just take a Boda Boda and it is around a 25 minute ride- anywhere from 10,000 -20,000 shillings depending where you going/ coming from !

    Amazing location and quality of the rooms. They were modern cottages with air conditioning and such a lovely ambience. Breakfast was good as well, just need to specify what you want exactly the night before so it’s ready in the morning :) Quiet place and options to do activities in Jinja such as white water rafting. Patrick at reception will organize for you and all is super professional and so much fun.

    This almost lakefront property has a stunning view over the water. Nice spacious room and balcony with a good hot shower and probably the best internet I've had in the area. Comfy beds and company of a very sweet cat.

    Walking distance to Main Street but down the hill enough so that it's quiet. The staff clearly communicated everything, the breakfast was delicious and served in the morning after alerting the front desk, the bed was very comfy and I enjoyed the fan for some white noise and humidity relief.

    Quiet and Serene. I went with children and they had a blast in the small splash pool. The hammocks and campfire too were a big plus
