How to find us

Getting to Bujagali

1

From Kampala: Take the Jinja Highway east. About 75km, 1.5–2 hours depending on Kampala traffic. Leave by 7am if you want to be on the water by 9.

2

Through Jinja town: Cross the Owen Falls Dam bridge. Follow the road through town heading north toward Bujagali. Signs will appear after the town centre.

3

Bujagali Falls: Continue 8km north of Jinja town. Look for the Bujagali Falls signage on the right. We're at the main put-in, brown sign, small car park.

4

From Jinja town centre: Boda boda (motorcycle taxi) from the main taxi park is about 15 minutes and costs UGX 3,000–5,000. Tell the driver Bujagali Falls put-in.

Coming from Entebbe or the airport?

About 2.5–3 hours from Entebbe Airport. Most guests stay in Jinja the night before. The Hairy Lemon island retreat on the Nile is 40 minutes north if you want something memorable. Message us and we can recommend where to stay for different budgets.
