ShirleyzCozyHaven-Elegant Living

ReachelRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Staying at this Airbnb in Jinja was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, Susan and Joel went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless. Their kindness, helpfulness, and attention to detail truly elevated our entire stay. The house itself was exceptionally clean — you can tell real care goes into maintaining the space. The interior decor was tasteful, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax and unwind. Whether it was the comfort of the space, the peaceful surroundings, or the genuine hospitality from the hosts, everything about this stay exceeded expectations. I couldn’t recommend it more and I’m already looking forward to returning. A real gem in Jinja!

This is my 5th time staying here. It’s one of the most beautiful places to stay in all of Uganda! Not only that but Ceyda is incredibly kind and goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is comfortable! She is eager to help you with anything and everything. I couldn’t recommend staying here more for the beauty and overall experience! A 20 out of 10 airbnb!

Mulungi Hideaway Bujagali

KirstenRating, 5 stars6 days ago

We had a lovely family stay at Brittany's beautiful home. It is located a very walkable distance to local backpackers/restaurants and the neighborhood is very peaceful and comfortable. The house itself is lovely -- well-equipped with plenty of space and comfortable amenities. We would absolutely stay there again.

The Shine Guesthouse - Jinja, On Nile River

AdriánRating, 5 stars2 months ago

It is a gorgeous house overlooking the Nile river, where monkeys jump from branch to branch in front of the main bedroom. The housekeeper made sure that all our requirements where met and she made fresh pineapple juice in the morning. We will be back to this beautiful place. Thank you!

The Croft Homes Jinja -Buffalo

JavedRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Great place to go with family! Bernard caretaker was also very welcoming. Location is very good being right in the center of all places with activities at the source of the Nile. Place is just as you see in the photos no exaggeration. Not to forget the spot on communication from Violet! Highly recommended!!

Family House on the River Nile in Jinja

MollyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We loved staying at Fleur’s place! The photos don’t even do justice to what an incredible view of the Nile it has right outside. We came with kids who loved playing out on the patio and exploring outside. Fleur was very helpful and responsive when we had questions. The only thing to consider is that both this weekend and in my experience with other places along this road, it has a tendency to get treacherous during rainy season. Our timing was unlucky (and not at all the host’s fault!) as they’d just grated the road on a rainy day, but the upkeep on this particular road out of Jinja is often not great.

This place was lovely, just as it was in the pictures, quiet, peaceful, clean and it felt like we were home. Alice was really friendly, and made sure we were doing alright and had everything we wanted and needed.. We shall definitely be going back. The view of the Nile was a gem. The caretaker was very responsive and the dogs were very friendly too

Private Guest Cottage in Jinja Town

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviews2 weeks ago

As a middle-aged, American, solo-female traveler I look for a place that is safe, walkable, and quiet. This was perfect for me and I felt right at home. I enjoyed the location and walked to restaurants in the area. All the drivers and bodas were able to find it easily

The Jinja Quarters

5 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviews12 months ago

We felt right at home with Jerry and his lovely family. The compound was beautiful, really well kept and the team there were friendly and helpful. There was so much space for my children to safely roam so we were able to relax. Really grateful for the laundry service as Uganda is very dusty. The apartment was comfortable and we had everything we needed. It was quiet and we slept really well. There is a high level of security around the clock so we felt very safe. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if we were coming back.

The hostess, Sarah wrote us a massive anniversary card. The personal touch made it really special. The space is so well decorated and after a long day on the road it was such a blessing to just relax in soak everything in. We also had a tour of the Soul Hope facility and shoe factory. The work Asher and her team are doing is profound. Thank you.

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The location was easy to find for boda bodas, and the apartment itself was comfortable. There was a small issue with the Wi-Fi when we arrived, but the host was responsive and offered to buy us airtime as a solution. Overall, it was a good experience, and we would stay here again!

Rozy homes withn town, near source of river Nile

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviews17 months ago

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful Airbnb from November 9th to 12th, providing me with the perfect retreat during my visit to the Nyege Nyege event. Although my original plan was to check in on the 9th, I unfortunately couldn't make it until the 10th. The host was incredibly understanding and accommodating, making my check-in process seamless. I felt secure throughout my stay, thanks to the secure access to the property and the host's commitment to ensuring a safe environment. The host's communication was exemplary. They were prompt in responding to my messages. In summary, my stay at this Airbnb greatly enhanced my Nyege Nyege experience. The comfort, convenience, and hospitality exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend this Airbnb to fellow travellers looking for a cozy and well-situated retreat. I look forward to the possibility of returning for future visits to this delightful Airbnb. Many thanks to the host for making my stay truly amazing

Escape to the outdoors- Nile riverbank tented camp

4.67 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviews31 months ago

Amazing place to stay with friends. The garden is huge! You are surrounded by nature, with access to the Nile. You can easily go for a swim, kayaking or a walk along the Nile. The staff were very warm and helped us to organise bodas. The place supports community projects which is definitely a plus when booking! I definitely recommend the place!

Cottage with pool directly on the Nile

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 28 reviews3 weeks ago

Staying at Romina’s cottage felt like stepping into a fairy tale—truly a dream come true. Sometimes we had to remind ourselves that what we were seeing was actually real. It’s a birdwatcher’s paradise, incredibly peaceful and calm, with a breathtaking view of the River Nile. Cows and chickens stroll lazily through the garden all day, adding to the magic of the place. The house itself is beautiful—charming, cozy, and very well equipped. David and Fiona were absolutely wonderful hosts and made everything feel effortless and relaxing from start to finish. We loved spending our days swimming in the pool, watching the fishermen at sunrise, and ending our evenings by the fireplace. Thank you so much, Romina, for sharing this magical spot with us. It’s a stay we’ll remember forever.

Idyllic Luxury Safari Tents by the Nile, Jinja

ChristinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Wir haben uns in "Besides still waters" sehr wohl gefühlt! Die Unterkunft hat eine wunderschöne Lage und es ist ein kleines Paradies am Nil. Sie hat eine sehr schöne, ruhige und gastfreundliche Athmosphäre. Sue hat immer sehr freundlich und zeitnah mit uns kommuniziert und ihr Manager Johnson und seine Helfer haben uns sehr freundlich empfangen und haben sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert. Das Fischessen am Feuer und das Frühstück mit Blick auf den Nil waren wunderschön. Genauso die liebevoll eingerichteten Zelte. Es war schön, dort im Zelt und auf der Terasse den Blick auf den Nil zu genießen und den zahlreichenVogelstimmen zu lauschen. Herzlichen Dank, Richard, Sue und Johnson für das schöne Erlebnis!!!

A green oasis on the Nile - BB

MelaniRating, 5 stars33 months ago

I couldn't have wished for anything better than my stay at Nile It. I adored staying in the tent and being gently woken by birdsong every morning. The offered a wide variety of food for every palate was beautifully prepared and presented. The staff are delightful and ever helpful. Finally, they were supremely helpful in arranging activities, like professional tubing the Nile, right from the beach of Nile It and other options. And there was so much more ... I'll definitely come back if I have half a chance.
