An island escape on the mighty Nile

Lemala Wildwaters Lodge is a sanctuary of seclusion perched on a private island in the middle of the Nile River. Accessible only by boat, the lodge is enveloped by lush rainforest and the constant sound of rushing water, offering a uniquely immersive experience in Uganda’s natural beauty.

The interiors blend organic textures and handcrafted details, including clawfoot bathtubs with views of the river, inviting guests to slow down and connect with nature in a place where comfort meets adventure.

Guests can lounge by the natural rock pool, explore the river by kayak, or enjoy sunset drinks as the water flows beneath them. Lemala Wildwaters is ideal for romantic getaways or as a relaxing finale after gorilla trekking, offering a luxurious yet raw connection to Uganda’s vibrant ecosystem.
