This place is great. a 3min ferry trip takes you from the riverbank to the island where there is a warm welcome from Pip and Lewey, fantastic home baked breads and good food. The facilities are basic, but the huts spaced well apart, private and sufficient. If you want to be in striking distance of Jinja (50kms, c1.5hours), had too... More

We heard from someone on our safari in Murchison how wonderful the Hairy Lemon was and we HAD to go. We wanted to relax during the days, yet looked forward to the social atmosphere he described. We went. While it WAS relaxing, it almost seemed a bit too relaxing during the day. We're not kayakers and it didn't seem as... More

Spent one night here while rafting the Nile. We were a school group so accommodation varied from a 12 bed dorm for the boys which was a bit tight but well designed, a nicer bigger dorm for the girls with toilet and shower attached. Staff were accommodated in bandas and I think I hit the jackpot with my Banda steps... More

Unfortunately I only stayed here for one night, thus not really getting a feel for the place or the chance to explore the nearby islands. The 'relaxation zones' were quite nice but there wasn't much lighting around the place, and only one shower (that I could find) In general the island makes a convenient place to rest after rafting etc.,...

My husband and I stayed here recently for a couple of nights and loved it. We were so relaxed by the end of our stay we really didn't want to leave. We stayed in one of the shacks which was great. We even had our own private access to a side stream of the river which we spent plenty of... More

Ensure you get a cabin if you dont like rain because you will get wet . The staff are outstanding and the animals who habit this island are friendly and fun... More

If you want to get away from conventional lodgings then this is the place for you. It is closer to the way people dream of when they think of Africa and the Nile River in the "good old days". Great food, bandas,drinks, and supurb hosts. This is not Disney World. Its your own discovery to tell friends about when you... More

It's an adventure getting there but its a little haven not to be missed. The accomodation is simple but clean and comfy (we stayed in a twin banda) the food is great and the whole place has such a lovely relaxed vibe. There are lots of dens & chill out spaces to play games, read or just hang in a... More

A real backpackers treat, with hammocks and chill out zones. It's a private tiny island so you are away from all the hassles of the outside world. I had planned on staying for ne night but stayed a second and wish it had been possible to stay longer. The food was really good there too - more tasty and creative... More
