WILD WATERS LODGE, UGANDA
Extraordinary. Unique. Unforgettable
Nestled in luxuriant rainforest on its own private island, mid-stream in the mighty Nile, Wildwaters Lodge is breathtaking. Thick riverine forest naturally covers the island and each of the ten timber-floor rooms is nestled amidst the forest with private, breathtaking views over the River Nile and its rapids. The expansive, canvas walled, traditionally thatched, rooms each boast private decks with elegant free-standing baths and wash basins carved from the local pink granite. Softly lit with hand-made furniture, you can relax in comfort on this island paradise listening to the thunder of the Nile rapids, and the calls of the many species of bird who call the island home.
ADRIFT EAST AFRICA LTD, UGANDA

Adrift is Uganda’s favourite adventure company offering whitewater rafting & bungee jumping on the Victoria Nile close to its source near Bujagali Falls in Jinja.
