Friday afternoon you are on the mainland. By evening you are not. That is the entire proposition, and after a bad week it is a strong one.
The Island Weekend is built for people in Kampala and Entebbe who want a genuine break without a visa, a flight or a week of leave.
What a stay like this is built around
The elements below are what we would put together for an island weekend. Exact inclusions are confirmed when we quote you.
- A short stay at the lodge
- A boat trip on Lake Victoria
- Dinner at the restaurant
- An evening at the beach fire
How the weekend runs
Arrive Friday, cross, and do nothing with what is left of the day. Saturday is the one with room in it. The boat in the morning while the water is flat, the afternoon at the pool or on the sand, dinner, then the fire. Sunday is breakfast, a slow start, and the crossing back.
A single night is a long way to travel to unpack; most guests find a weekend needs more than that.
Who it suits
Couples, and groups of friends who want a plan without an itinerary. If you are travelling with children, the Family Island Break is shaped differently. If the point is the two of you, look at the Couple’s Escape.
