See here for more information about the other house: https://www.vrbo.com/en-gb/p11540385? Other notable aspects Your stay is self catering, we will provide a few basic essentials to welcome you but we recommend that you allow time to stop & shop in Jinja before you arrive. We will supply 2 20 litre bottles of drinking water which can be exchanged for a refill in many of the supermarkets in Jinja. WiFi is available, but please note it's limited to 5GB per day. If you need more, we can top it up at your cost. It is advisable to come in your own car. Be aware that we are on 'village' dirt/murram roads so when it has rained things can be challenging, a 4 wheel drive is recommended but not essential during the rainy season. Gate policy: Once you are checked in the gate will be locked from 12 midnight until 7am. This is for the safety of everyone on site & there will be no exceptions, no access will be granted to the site during these hours. If you require transport to be arranged for you from the airport or elsewhere then please let us know. If you need a taxi or a local boda boda during your stay we can provide contact details. We don’t offer any accommodation or services for your drivers, cooks, nannies etc. They are more than welcome to stay as guests, if registered. Please remember that our cottages & water supply are all solar powered so there is a limited amount of power available. For this reason, we kindly ask that you DO NOT BRING ANY of the following items, as they require more power than we can provide: NO Hair dryers NO Hair straighteners NO Irons NO Induction rings/hobs NO Air fryers NO Coffee machines NO Microwave ovens NO Portable electric ovens Any other high wattage, power-hungry devices. Please be thoughtful & considerate with water & power use. The toilets go to a septic tank so no nappies, sanitary towels, wet wipes etc, please dispose of these in the bin provided. Please be thoughtful about how much toilet paper you use otherwise blockages may occur. There are 2 dogs on the site, please do not feed them or allow them into the house. Our compound is fully fenced all the way round so there is no access to the river itself which means there is no need to worry about your kids falling into the river. However, if you fancy a boat cruise, Chibby is a friendly local boatman who can pick you from our gate & walk you to his boat on the river just 2 plots over, from where you can either take a relaxing cruise on the river or he can drop you to the other side where you can go horse riding. Just ask Hope for his contact details. Close by is Bujagali village, roughly a 15 minute walk or just a few minutes in a car, where you can find 3 restaurant/bars, several local food stalls and many adventure activities: rafting, kayaking, tubing, stand up paddle-boarding, boat cruises, quad biking and boat rides to attractions such as birding, fishing and horse riding. Enjoy your stay and the many adventures awaiting you! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Massage ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (on request) ### Things to do - Boat - Golf - Kayak - Tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Composting - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Solar energy - Towels (changed on request) ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104060000/104052300/104052300/a97ed505.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Off grid WiFi KS bed spacious home Nile river views sleeps 8 10km to Jinja Kyabirwa, jinja - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Parking available - Barbecue grill CA $103 CA $148 total includes taxes & fees Sep 29 - Sep 30 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-29&endDate=2025-09-30&selected=104052300&PinnedHotelID=104052300&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool, pool umbrellas, sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34480000/34478100/34478086/5cbb372e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kingfisher Safaris Resort Hotel Jinja - Pool - Breakfast included - Spa - Kids pool 6.2 16 reviews CA $119 CA $140 total includes taxes & fees Sep 27 - Sep 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-27&endDate=2025-09-28&selected=34478086&PinnedHotelID=34478086&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Superior Room, Private Pool, River View | Private pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106770000/106760400/106760340/19e18afb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lemala Wildwaters Lodge Kayunga - Pool - Breakfast included - All-inclusive - Parking included 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $980 CA $1,156 total includes taxes & fees Oct 1 - Oct 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-01&endDate=2025-10-02&selected=106760340&PinnedHotelID=106760340&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105240000/105239800/105239742/85965c3b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Nile Retreat - Luxury Villa in Jinja Jinja - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly CA $168 CA $168 total includes taxes & fees Oct 1 - Oct 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-01&endDate=2025-10-02&selected=105239742&PinnedHotelID=105239742&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103790000/103784800/103784771/8288fdd3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### River-side eden in Bujjowali, jinja with River view, near town and pet friendly Jinja Uganda - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi CA $49 CA $83 total includes taxes & fees Sep 28 - Sep 29 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-28&endDate=2025-09-29&selected=103784771&PinnedHotelID=103784771&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91180000/91171400/91171389/w906h638x59y45-8fafcc5d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Full House with spacious convenience!
