Wildwaters Lodge, Lemala Camp’s and Lodges Uganda property, has just completed a major refurbishment of all suites and common areas. Given the spectacular location of Wildwaters – on its own private island, in the middle of the mighty Nile River, this is certainly no mean feat.
Perched on granite rocks with rapids roaring around, the ten stand-alone elevated timber-floor and super-spacious luxury suites are nestled in the rainforest with amazing views of the Nile. New composite decking was installed throughout the property along with a new jetty where guests arrive by private boat- the only way to get to the island.
The newly designed main lodge restaurant, common areas and stunning pool deck are linked to the suites by raised wooden walkways.
The suites have been revitalised using soft neutral tones and locally handmade furniture and feature secluded wooden decks with daybeds and romantic free-standing open-air bathtubs.
Leanne Haigh, CEO of Lemala Camps and Lodges said “We are so excited to see the completion of this project and the upgrade of Wildwaters Lodges to bring it in line with Lemala’s other camps and lodges in Tanzania.”
Located on roughly six hectares on Kalagala Island, Wildwaters Lodge lies around 25km downstream from Jinja in eastern Uganda. Activities on the river for guests in the nearby adventure-hub of Jinja area including heart-pounding white-water rafting or bungee jumping and jet boating, and gentler horse riding or fishing.
Wildwaters is also a perfect platform for viewing some of the more than 1000 bird species that Uganda is so famous for – from turacos and cuckoos to hawks and eagles –you might also spot giant otters and monitor lizards in the water.
“Wildwaters offers a relaxing post safari option for visitors to East Africa. With a daily scheduled flight from Koga, Tanzania to Entebbe, Uganda- it works in perfect combination with Lemala’s other properties on the Tanzanian circuit.” continued Haigh.
