Fodor's Expert Review Lemala Wildwaters Lodge
Kalagala Falls, Jinja, Eastern Region, Uganda Fodor's Choice
If this world-class lodge, part of the respected Lemala group, does not enchant you with its magical location, it will captivate you with its winning service, spa, and superb cuisine. Mid-stream on its own private island in the mighty River Nile, powerful rapids thunder past its swimming pool. Raised wooden walkways crisscross the island’s riverine forest, and each spacious cottage boasts a 4-poster bed and private deck with an outdoor bathtub. Five-course dinners at the open-air restaurant are a culinary treat, made all the more special by the backdrop—moonlight playing on the constant motion of whitewater.

- an excellent spot to wind down after a safari
