Lemala Wildwaters Lodge

Uniquely perched on granite boulders with thrilling Nile rapids crashing all around, Lemala Wildwaters Lodge situated on Kalagala Island is an adventure traveler’s dream. Encompassing roughly 15 acres, approximately 15 miles downstream from Jinja in eastern Uganda in the middle of the Nile River, this African jewel is only accessible by boat, making it a riveting and very exciting destination.

Activities on the river abound for guests. The nearby adventure center of the Jinja area offers water sports enthusiasts a wide array of adrenaline-fueled pursuits such as white water rafting, kayaking, fishing and even bungee jumping. Wildwaters Lodge is also the perfect location for birders hoping to catch a glimpse of some of Uganda’s avian gems such as a multitude of turacos and cuckoos. Not only for adrenaline junkies, couples or honeymooners can take advantage of the spa after a fun-filled day for some much needed relaxation and quiet time.

Idyllically set above the ancient Nile River, ten stand-alone raised timber-floor and extra spacious opulent suites blend seamlessly in the rainforest and boast spectacular river views. All suites exude ultimate privacy and can be made up into a double or triple or twin arrangement. Locally crafted furniture, chic bathrooms with rain showers, and sheltered wooden decks with daybeds only add to the striking beauty of the lodge’s surroundings. Enjoy the calming, hypnotic sounds of the mighty Nile with a stay at this one-of-a-kind experience that awakens all of the senses.
