    On the hill overlooking the Mighty White Nile as it leaves Lake Victoria, this campsite offers absolutely everything. It has a bar, can arrange rafting, has strong community links through its affiliation with Softpower and Nile River Explorers & Explorers Backpackers just down the road on Wilson Avenue, its in a great gorgeous location. There is a spot if you wander down the hill where you can take a dip in the waters of the Nile, should you wish, go quad biking, take a walking tour of the villages. There is heaps to do and see.

    Of most interest out of all the facilities though, and this may sound odd, was the really cool shower blocks. Over looking the waters of the White Nile, they have a front door as you walk in, but are completely open at the back. Don't worry, the tree's allow you feel secluded. It is really strange yet cool to stand in an open aired shower block washing away the days grime after rafting and just stare out at the view. No shower experience can beat that!

    Nile River Explorers at Bujagali: Camping and Rafting
  • Satisfaction:

  • I stayed here for 4 nights, camping on the comfortable grassy areas. This is a nice place, its also a busy place and offers a booking service for what most people visit for - White Water Rafting. In the Big Bar at night they show the Rafting DVD's - as you can imagine this place is busy and fun each and every night.




    The Bar has an outside seating area on wooden decking that overlooks Bujagali Falls - its a pretty setting and they sell well priced, good portioned food.

    One night we were here there were locals doing some dancing and acrobatic movements out front which was cool!

    Outside of the camps compound there are small stals selling wraps which are like Tortillas but there not! Cheap and Tasty Meal!

    The most unique thing about Nile River Explorers at Bujagali Falls would be the showers - you go inside through a door, but once inside the shower is actually outside with a spectacular view over the Nile - its pretty amazing, it feels weird at first but once you realise the fact that nobody can see you its fine LOL.....
    These showers were freezing cold and powerful which was brilliant, but dont venture down too late - its Mozzie Galore!
