This private island lodge is a nature-filled haven on the River Nile in eastern Uganda, which immerses its guests in nature while also feeling wonderfully luxurious
Location
You’re staying on the Nile – and I mean right on it. The hotel has been built on Kalagala, a small private island in eastern Uganda, a short boat ride from the mainland. This section of the Nile is known for its white water, and Wildwaters brings you about as close as you can to it. The lodge feels remote, yet is actually reasonably easy to reach. The nearest town is Jinja, once a popular stop on the backpacker trail thanks to its white-water rafting and kayaking, but now with significantly fewer visitors. The closest airport is Entebbe, which is near to the capital Kampala, and roughly 130 kilometres from Wildwaters. Traffic-dependent, the drive from Entebbe airport to the hotel is around three hours and best done by taxi.
