Located less than 1 and ½ hours from Kampala, this lodge is expected to become a highly popular retreat from the city, as well as one of the more luxurious places to stay along the Nile - and certainly in Uganda. Full spa facilities, a yoga deck, coffee house and fresh juice bar, as well as a natural water pool - which has been carved by the river over millennia from the pink granite - are available. (The British actress, Joanna Lumley, helped to choose its final design in fact!)
Each room is located amidst thick riverine forest and affords complete privacy, with spectacular views of the river below and its rapids. Extensive raised, wooden walkways traverse the entire island, leading to secluded areas along the banks and link up the rooms and the main lodge. The main lodge itself is built on a solid rock peninsula, amidst the rapids of the Nile River.
The lodge is at the heart of the newly formed Wildwaters Reserve, a group of mid-stream islands on the Nile. The area plays host to river otters, giant monitor lizards and a dazzling array of bird species.
Access is currently by boat; however, plans are afoot to construct a suspension bridge from the mainland.
