Overlooking a wild Class VI rapid, this wonderful, friendly lodge is all about location. With pleasant grounds featuring a play area, bike rentals and sandbox, it's great for families too. There are sensational panoramas from suave bandas (thatched-roofed huts), tents and bungalows, all with hot water. It boasts numerous ecofriendly credentials, a safari-style restaurant and swimming pool with sunloungers.
The top-notch food is another draw and nonguests can visit just for a meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner US$12/15/18) but you must make a reservation. A boda-boda from Jinja will cost around Ush10,000. It's 15km from Jinja along Kayunga Rd (next to the whitewater rafting starting point).
