An Excellent place with Excellent services!

My friends and I recently stayed here for a total of 3 nights, this is by far the best site we’ve ever stayed on. On clear nights we sat under the stars gazing into the sky. In the morning we walk up to the beautiful soothing songs from the birds. In the middle of the day we rested on the shores of the breathtaking waters of the lake. The manager ensured our rooms had light in the night, and our orders are taken. Our dishes were ready and served on time.
If you value peace and tranquility with first-class camping facilities and extraordinary customer services, this is the place for you. Oh! my! I can’t wait to return and the Wydder treehouse is a must stay! Thanks, Johnson and your entire team for making us so welcome.

Much lack of maintenance

The accommodation is outdated and lacks a lot of maintenance. We found the rooms and bathrooms really dirty. Beds were uncomfortable, with cushions instead of pillows. Solar electricity was not working so there was no light. The restaurant has no fridge.
The price of the accommodation does not correspond to the condition of the accommodation. We tried to ask for compensation but the manager flatly refused. We also had problems with the payment as they did not indicate that they did not have a credit card machine.
The staff - Evas - was very nice and tried to help as much as possible.

Unique experience

We had a unique experience because we were the only guests at the camp, hence the only guests on the entire Island. It was a lovely relaxing stay.
Evas, the receptionist, was friendly and welcoming. Anna, the cook, made delicious meals and accommodated our dietary restrictions. The shared dining area is open-air and comfortable. There is a fireplace and they lit a fire at night, which created nice ambience. Hillary and Robert, the staff, were professional and helpful. There is wifi in the dining area, but the signal is not strong.
The grounds are lovely - there are goats roaming the island and many different bird species to see in the eucalyptus forest. We stayed in one of the tree-house cabins. It was rustic for sure, but had an ensuite outdoor bathroom with running water and the staff brought us jerry cans of hot water to use to shower. It also had a small deck with a view of the lake.
There is a 1.8 km trial that circumnavigates the island and is an easy walk. It's a bit of a hike uphill to get to the main dining area where meals are served and back down to the tents and cabins. The trail offers nice views of the lake and of surrounding islands. There are docks and you can borrow a dug-out canoe or arrange a boat tour on a motorized boat.
We really enjoyed our stay - this is not a luxury lodge, but it was comfortable, affordable, and the staff made us feel at home.

Bad food - no cold drinks - extremely long waiting time

We went there from Edirisa Lodge (which I can highly recommend) by canoe over to bushara island for lunch. They have a full size restaurant and large menu.
However, they did not have any cold drinks- everything was warm. We waited 1 1/2 hours for our lunch and than got the worst food we had in uganda during the entire trip.
Just stay away!

Amazing stay, relaxing and peaceful!!!

I stayed here for 1 night with my fiance and loved it! We spent time relaxing and walking around the island. The staff were really friendly and helpful (especially Evas).
We enjoyed a beer by the fire on a evening and found the room very clean and relaxing to stay in.
Would defiantly recommend a few nights here as it is the hidden gem of Lake Bunyonyi.
