    What a special place. A truly unique lodge amongst the rapids of the Victoria Nile. Rooms were luxurious and homely, each with their own view onto the meandering rapids - finished to perfection. The central boma is eloquently designed with its famous outlook onto the pool and river. The food cooked by award winning chefs was absolutely outstanding in both presentation and taste. It shows how much they pride themselves on the cuisine by the quality of the dishes. Finally the staff were tentative, welcoming and served the hotel proudly. If your undecided because of the price - it's worth every penny and you won't regret it!

    When we talk about luxurious accommodations in Uganda, this the place to be. It’s really a relaxing accommodation that is found along the Nile. Enjoy the sounds of rapids from the Kalangala falls with a deep in the swimming pool next to the river Nile. Very relaxing place to stay at.

    I live in Washington DC and made a trip specifically to.. 👇 Wild waters 💧River Club because of its fame. What a place to be. Gorgeous for family, business and vacationing. ● Food was great ● View breat taking ● Service from the employees was courteous,,, Except one employee of note to me. 👉 SASHA WANYONYI - Not welcoming, no smile, could not stand to welcome me, was rude and very unprofessional. Remained seated on the lobby seats with no care or concern whatsoever while I was in need of wanting to know more a booking am planning to have for my family. Such behavior will cost the business alot if left untamed.

    We stayed here on our honeymoon and had the absolute best time! The view and setting are of course stunning but the staff are also amazing and made our stay very special. Delicious food and wonderful massage next to the rapids too. Richard even took the time to teach us Bao (the game) one evening which was great fun!

    Though it is very expensive it worth every penny. Don't think of it as an hotel, but rather as an experience. You don't get there for a sleepover, you should stay the whole day, take the time to enjoy that special place. The views are amazing: the rush of the wayer in the falls all around keep changing all the time, one can stare at them for hours. The walk through on the wooden track through the foerst is beautiful and tranquil. The rooms are huge, good Wifi, wonderful views from the balcony, the bath, both inside the room and out in the balcony watching the falls are good. The food cooked by a chef and is very tasty. You can get all the drinks you want including alcohol But it is the service that makes it perfect, never have I enjoyed such a lovely service, everything is done fast and efficient, you hardly notice it, but things happen for your benefit all the time

    Nestled in a luxuriant rainforest on its own private island, mid-stream in the mighty Nile, Lemala Wildwaters Lodge is breathtaking. Thick riverine forest naturally covers the island and each of the ten timber-floor rooms is nestled amidst the forest with private views over the River Nile and its rapids. The expansive, canvas walled, traditionally thatched rooms each boast private decks with elegant free-standing baths and wash basins carved from the local pink granite. Softly lit with hand made furniture, you can relax in comfort on this island paradise listening to the thunder of the Nile rapids, and the calls of the many species of bird who call the island home. Elevated wooden walkways gracefully link the rooms to the restaurant and bar area and offer an unforgettable walk through the heart of the forest.  Download E-brochure The  main  lodge  is  located  quite  unbelievably  on  a  solid  rock  peninsula, amidst the rapids of the River Nile. Relax here, cooled by the constant breezes from the racing rapids or plunge into the adjacent natural swimming pool, carved by the river over millennia from pink granite. This is the ultimate location to enjoy one of the last wild areas of the entire Nile. The lodge is at the heart of the newly formed Wildwaters Reserve, a group of mid-stream islands in the Nile, mostly widely recognised as the home for the legendary whitewater rafting on the Nile. They are also home to river otters, giant monitor lizards and hundreds of species of birds. The lodge is the centre-piece for a conservation initiative aimed at protecting this pristine riverine environment for future generations, in part by ensuring that the local communities benefit directly from the visitors to the lodge and the protection of these beautiful, heavily forested islands in the Nile. ​ 10 Villas suitable as doubles, twins or triples including 1 family room En-suite bathroom with flush toilet and hot showers 24-hr electricity with a back-up generator Large lounge and dining area offering views of the River NileComplimentary internet in the lounge and bar Charging facilities for devices in your villa Spa treatments with prior bookings Nearest airstrip is Jinja or the Island has a helicopter pad Accommodation on full board with drinks and extras payable

  • 4/5 Brisk t. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely place... With an amazing view of the Nile. The staff are very friendly and helpful... It is also close, if you want to go rafting

  • 5/5 Cissy L. 5 years ago on Google
    Spectacular view. So relaxing. The only spud you hear is that of the mighty waters of Kalagala falls & of birds & insects. It's on an island in the beautiful R. Nile. We all know R. Nile is the longest River in the world with its source in Uganda at Jinja. Wild waters is heavenly. I have never seen so much cleanliness & orderliness. Apart from being an island sorrounded my rapids, it's sorrounded by a forest as well. Nature at its best. It's so Godly for its cleanliness. The rooms are artistically designed, professional services, & a great view & entanglement with nature.

    Loved this place because it's breathtaking. But come on. The price is too much. Imagine had to pay $100 for lunch and another $11 for entrance. This should be made fare especially for citizens

    We truly adored our stay here. From the room to the food to the location, everything was visually pleasing and thoughtfully crafted. We had the room with the private plunge pool and outdoor bath and it was perfectly romantic. There was hot water, decent WiFi, and quality room service each day. We were so sad when we left because we hadn’t had a stay or service like that in all of our travels around the globe in a long time. All in all, this is a one of a kind stay and we absolutely recommend it!
