Lodging, Hotels, Accommodations at Jinja Uganda

From Budget to Luxury lodgings at Jinja-Uganda.

Wildwaters Lodge (Up-Market Luxury) $$$$:  Stunning setting-more than a lodge-but an experience - harmonizing lodging and the historic river Nile on the private Nile Island of Muyanja-one of the most incredible places on the planet awaits you here - you cannot put it into words - you have to experience.

This lodge is simply the ultimate in Jinja-but even way beyond - pamper your senses and stay a night at Wildwaters Lodge on an Island on the Nile with rushing waters all around you.

Jinja Nile Resort (Up-Market Luxury ) $$$$:  Lovely cottages, some overlooking the Nile river.  Stylishly decorated, DSTV, the Cottages have a private balcony and those directly on the Nile have a fabulous view.  Each room has a small sitting area, private bath.  A lovely place to relax overlooking the historic River Nile and there is of course a fantastic swimming pool with bar. 

You can have a bite to eat while watching fishermen casting their nets into the Nile river. Watch the sunset or sunrise over the Nile...a beautifully maintained facility.

Located outside of Jinja about 1 kilometer from Owen's Dam and the bridge from Kampala.

Gately on the Nile (Up-Market Luxury to Moderate) $$ to $$$:  Two colonial era estates transformed into Gately on the Nile. There is a lovely garden overlooking Lake Victoria.  Gately on the Nile has class and style and is beautiful facility.  It is a Bed and Breakfast with great rooms. 12 rooms different tastes and budgets.  There area some room with shared facilities, while the others are all self contained.

The food is quite different for Uganda, a touch of Mexico is available besides the many continental dishes that can be found here.

It is a change of pace and one could call it non-institutional, a change from the usual to class at most every budget.

Nile Porch Budget toUp-Market$-$$$:  An up-market lodging facility overlooking the spectacular Bujagali Falls.  The perfect place to stay while you go rafting on the Nile from mild to wild.  Come back to the perfect setting, have dinner at the Black Lantern, nice menu to order from.  There are luxury tents with thatched roofing and your bathroom with a view, or family cabins to choose from.

The location is everything being right on top of Bujagali Falls, and if you are not going to dip into the Nile while rafting you can always take a dip into the pool.

The Haven (Moderate) $$:  The setting is on the Nile River overlooking some rapids, the sound of rushing water reaches your ears and everything else is quiet, with exception of the sound of maybe a Fish Eagle overhead.  The place is isolated, you do not hear any traffic, it is simply a haven overlooking the majestic Nile.  The German owner has done a fabulous job creating an eco-friendly accommodation with solar lighting, the use of rainwater and more.  The German owner is strongly committed to responsible tourism and works closely with the local community around him providing meaningful employment for many.

Accommodations vary luxury cabins to more moderate, but all share the fabulous setting, the fantastic continental fare in the restaurant, a nice place to stay in Jinja.
