Nestled in rainforest on its own private island, mid-stream in the mighty Nile as it flows north between Lakes Victoria and Kyoga, there are few spots quite like Lemala Wildwaters Lodge. Thick forest envelops the ten timber-floor cottages, each a view 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, they are a great place to relax while listening to the white water and many species of bird who call the island home. Elevated wooden walkways link the rooms to the restaurant, bar and pool area, the main lodge area stood on a solid rock peninsula amid the rapids. The lodge is at the heart of the newly formed Wildwaters Reserve, a group of islands home to river otters, giant monitor lizards and hundreds of species of birds. As well as chilling out, you can take to the waters on kayaks and paddle boards, perhaps conquering some rapids white water rafting, fish, or explore the land on quad bikes or horseback.

Ishasha Wilderness Camp is situated inside the Southern Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park on the Ntungwe river, and is an idyllic retreat for people who truly enjoy the wilderness. This exclusive camp offers quality accommodation and services in this unspoilt remote southern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park which is famous for its tree-climbing lions that can sometimes be spotted resting in the branches of the area’s large fig trees. Each of the ten spacious framed canvas rooms, situated in the wooded area besides the river, is comfortably furnished. Decorated with large mosquito netted beds, they all come with their own private en-suite bathroom and dressing area, providing running water, hot water ‘bush’ showers and a flushing eco-friendly toilet. There’s no better way to end a day here than under the trees next to the river, where you can enjoy freshly prepared meals which utilise many local ingredients, as well as relax around the evening ‘fireplace’ for sundowners and a chance to share the day’s experience. As the camp is within the national park, it has been designed with as little impact as possible, with low usage of water, power and other resources. Solar power is used for lighting, with power points limited to a central area allocated for recharging cameras and videos.
