Lamela Wild waters Lodge – River Nile, source of the Nile Visit in Jinja Uganda.

Located on around six hectares on Kalagala Island, Lamela wild waters Lodge is a unique private island mid-stream inside the great River Nile in Uganda roughly 25km downstream from Jinja in eastern Uganda.

It’s in a very beautiful spot that is only accessible by boat, which makes staying here rather exciting. And it is especially positioned on granite cliffs with loud and fascinating foaming rapids screaming all around.

Nestle in a rainforest with breathtaking river views, the 10 stand-alone raised timber-floor and super-spacious luxury suites Rising wooden pathways connect each to the restaurant, bar and library, and have glass-fronted windows, locally manufactured furnishings, modern bathrooms with rain showers, and isolated wooden terraces with daybeds and romantic free-standing open-air baths.

In the gorgeous main community lodge area, there is also a swimming pool fashioned out of naturally pink granite rocks and wonderful and much above standard sunrise breakfasts and candle-lit five course meals. Activities include calm horse riding or fishing and heart-pounding white-water rafting or bungee jumping and jet boating on the river for visitors to the adjacent Jinja adventure-hub.

From turacos and cuckoos to hawks and eagles, Lamela Wild waters resort is the ideal venue for seeing some of the over 1000 bird species Uganda is so well-known for. You may also see giant otters and monitor lizards in the water. If of course the sound of the racing white-water rapids does not disturb, Wild Waters Lodge also provides a peaceful and private stay for honeymooners and couples seeking some quiet time for the entire family.

Wild waters provides an experience in all the senses as these noises on the great Nile are really captivating and soothing. Nothing compares to the view and resting listening to the continuous wind and natural sounds all night long in this unique location is absolutely peaceful.

Long, rolling strides are expected during White Water rafting, but the sport is between Grade IV and V rapids and offers enough river thrills and spills. Though certain rapids are intense, most of the visitors are first-time rafters; here is the ideal venue as a guide will be present to teach paddle technique.

White water rafting in the Nile offers an opportunity for channel exploration from the source. Forested islands provide the finest of your journey in the River Nile as they allow you to bounce down in to the water rapids where you will encounter the water spills.
