    The Floating Island in Kampala is located on 70 Lake Drive at Portbell, Luzira past Miami Sand Beach Peninsular Crescent about 7.1km from Bugolobi. You can access this Island by taking Portbell road which is the quickest route or you can drive through Mutungo Tank road which is about 8.4km or you can drive there via the old Butabika road which is about 8.9km to the location. The Island, owned by a local Ugandan named James Kateeba welcomes guests at the floating Island at no cost (because we who all go there are curious) but they have a bar and serve fresh fish, Barbeque and accompaniments for which you have to pay for. The floating Island can hold about 40+ people comfortably. Those that visit have ended up belonging and becoming like family. It’s anchored most days for those who want to go chill at the lakeside but their busiest times are during the weekends when the Island floats on the lake. Most times they are forced to turn guests away during their busiest days. If you are curious, go check it out!

    A very calm, and mind blowing place to be. It's one of a kind. It's very amazingly beautiful. A place that floats on water and can move like a boat is not just beautiful but amazing. The food and drinks are available with good customer care from Rasta and staff. Come and experience this at the Floating island. You won't be disappointed.

    A beautiful place with the natural ambiance of the waterfront overlooking Nsenene Island. In the evening the moonlight pours its radiance on the ripples of the water giving one a tingling effect. You can take a trip to the island across aboad the MV Floating Island thanks to James Kateeba, the proprietor!

    The breeze from lake Victoria is so cool. But the place needs more taste to it. The washrooms are not the best. When it rains, it pours here..otherwise service is good.

    This place is best for "I am stressed in the middle of the day" - situation- and need to get away from everything. One can just go sit, meditate, lay back and by the evening you are as fresh as a new morning🌞 😘... Watching the Horizon will wash away your stress 😊
