We just had our second stay at Wildwaters, and I can't recommend it highly enough. The location is simply unbelievable, on an island in the Nile. I've stayed in Nyungwe, cabin #1, both times, on the fast side of the Nile, and love hearing the water rush by. (The other side is quiet, if you prefer that.) The entire facility... More

This was a fantastic place. Everything was first class, service and the food was the best we had in Africa, and the concept, architecture, walkways- every little detail was just unebeliveble. It is quite expensive, but absolutely worth it!!! The only stressfull thing was that it was so beautiful, we just could not put down our cameras:-) More

A fellow traveler and I were recommended to stop here for lunch in a jaunt to the Source of the Nile. It seemed a bit out of the way, and reservations required prior. We did it anyway, and it was absolutely worth it. First you boat across the Nile, then down a hidden path, through the woods, and then.....the rapids... More

This was a birthday present and it was fantastic. It was a shame we only stayed for one night but we will definitely go back, if only for Sunday lunch as the food was terrific. As the name suggests the place is near water, in fact it's on an island and you have to park up and go down to... More

My wife and I had a great time at Wildwaters Lodge. We went to just relax and it was great. The food was awesome and the location is breathtaking. We enjoyed walking around the island on the walking trails just taking it all in. We will go back. More

My wife and I just went for lunch. A short 35 minute drive from Jinja. We took a small boat to the island where we were welcomed to a beautiful paradise. A boardwalk stretches in and around the island, where the walks are tree covered. Lunch was under a thatched roof a few meters away from rushing rapids. The views... More

Two friends of mine took me and my fiancee here for the day. I was so impressed. I've lived in Uganda for 14 years and I have seen it all. The staff was fantastic from the guys who rowed the boats to the owner himself. Everyone was very accommodating and professional. The food was exquisite. Best fish I have ever... More

The lodge has a unique location on an island in the River Nile surrounded by the Nile Rapids. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings and very elegantly furnished - attached is a generous ensuite bathroom. The balcony offers breathtaking views of the rapids and rain forest, with many colourful birds flying by. There was a special treat of a... More

I have chosen Wildwaters Lodge as my home away from home in Uganda, East Africa - a phenomenal, picturesque, wildly adventurous get-away! Each time I enter my favorite room, Nyungwe, I cease to exist in my normal "mother" mode and I arrive in paradise, catapulted into a strikingly vivid and breathtaking view of the Nile rapids! The sound of rushing... More

This resort is absolutely amazing! Views from all sides are simply breathtaking!! Service impeccable, facilities clean and well maintained, food mostly excellent (meats were tough). This is a once in a lifetime resort. Picture yourself swimming in the pool just a few feet from the Nile river rapids,while eagles fly above in the beautiful blue sky, or dining at night... More
