Jinja
Situated on its own private island in the middle of the mighty Nile River and reached only by boat, Wildwaters Lodge is breathtaking. The lodge is about 25 km downstream from Jinja, the lodge is perched on granite rocks with noisy and exciting foamy rapids roaring all around.
Activities on the river for guests in the nearby adventure-hub of Jinja area include heart-pounding white-water rafting or bungee jumping and jet boating, and gentler horse riding or fishing. When you return to the lodge, enjoy a relaxing massage treatment, indulge in a dip in the outdoor swimming pool, or just soak up the views from your private deck.
Additionally, Wildwaters is a perfect platform for viewing some of the more than 1,000 bird species that Uganda is so famous for - from turacos and cuckoos to hawks and eagles - and you might also spot giant otters and monitor lizards in the water.
It is fun for the whole family, but Wildwaters Lodge also offers a relaxing and intimate stay for honeymooners and couples looking for some quiet time.
The 10 stand-alone elevated timber-floor and super-spacious luxury suites nestle in rainforest with amazing river views.
Each are linked by raised wooden walkways to the main restaurant, bar and library, and feature glass-fronted windows, locally handmade furniture, stylish bathrooms with rain showers, and secluded wooden decks with daybeds and romantic free-standing open-air bathtubs.
