Nile Recharge

Really beautiful location next to the Nile. Bungalow was spacious and comfortable. Food locally sourced was really tasty. Everything had been thought of for a place to recharge batteries. Great staff and opportunities for local walks with guides. Felt really safe. Picture windows look out over the falls. I’d far rather come here than any expensive Kampala hotel

Einer der Plätze, warum man Uganda besuchen sollte.Direkt an den Stromschnellen gelegen mit Kinderspielplatz, Mountainbikes, Kajaks Birdwatching....ein super nettes Team, Top Speisen und sehr gutem Preis Leistungs Verhältnis. Der Eigentümer ist immer im Hintergrund präsent und organisiert alles vollkommen unaufgeregt. Ein Ort um die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Eine Empfehlung für alle, die Natur und Aktivitäten miteinander verbinden wollen. Für die Camper: der Platz ist großartig mit sehr guten Sanitäranlagen.
