“Wonderful location on Lake Victoria with great views & a nice pool & delicious food!”
The location right on Lake Victoria with a plethora of birds on the property. The pool is a great place to relax and refresh. The food options are wonderful. There are activities to do right from the lodge. They have a lovely, calm cat, who hangs around.

“Great location and food, but wouldn’t spend the night there.”
The manager, Peter, answered my questions on booking promptly and helped me organise transport from the airport. The food was great, due to an amazing cook, especially good was the fish and the location is breathtaking.

“Green heaven in Kampala”
Amazing environment, quiet away from business of Kampala, a great haven. My room was very nice, food was great, sitting by lake in mornings or evenings was memorable. Internet connection was good. So many species of birds can be spotted. Location is good if you can travel on a boda which take 20-30 min to town

“Abosulte mus stay for 2 days and 2 nights! - Best place I´ve slept in Uganda!”
To me that was the extreme highlight if we are talking about accomodation on my trip through Uganda. - It is direclty located at the Victoria lake! - I was at this time the only guest and got an upgrade w/o extra payment. I had a large room, more like an appartment - first floor, living room with 2 (!) sofas (no TV - not necessary, outside it is much more interesting! - Believe it!) - - small kitchen, nice bathroom, second floor sleeping room, one singel bed, one doulbe bed. good matress, 230 Volt plus local 120 Volt (!) Froom the sleeping room as well as from the living room, direct view onto Victoria lake! - Large garden with an artifical pool plus a nature pool! - Very good breakfast, very good international kitchen a la carte! - Luckily the monkeys - approx. 20 (!) were around - which are living right and left from the hotel in the mangroves. - To me it is a very must go for 2 days and 2 nights!
