EAT, EXPLORE AND EXPERIENCE
A lifetime experience
BOAT RIDES
Enjoy a 17 minute boat ride to Garuga or a 30 minute boat ride to Bulago island or 25 minute boat ride to Munyonyo, Gaba and Luzira. Closer boat rides across the south bay to Bwerenga peninsula and around Avocado Bay are also an option.
NATURE WALK
You can choose to enjoy a 1km long nature walk striding both the north facing and west-facing beach lines before meandering through open lawns and the lakeside forest, a wide grassland, avocado orchard and semi tropical bush.
FISHING
The extensive rocks on the East facing lake shore attract fish and are popular for rod fishing at any time of the day. Most common catches will be Tilapia (ngege) or the Nile Perch (mpuuta). Guests are welcome to bring their own fishing rods or hire facility rods.
MEETINGS: CONFERENCE HALL
Our sheltered second floor conference room with an elevated full 360 degrees view of the lake and forest canopy is perhaps one of the best conference spaces you will find anywhere. Complete with multiple power sources, a constant fresh lake breeze, a water point and flexible furniture that can be easily arranged into multiple meeting formations
BIRD VIEWING
Encounter koalas, colorful birds and dingoes. Avocado Bay Retreat is home to upto 70 bird species at different seasons of the year, including several indigenous all-year like the Long-toed Lapwing, kingfisher, Village Weaver and African Jacana, among others
CAMPING
Spending a night close to African nature can be an enthralling experience and an exciting change from built accommodation. The sights and sounds of chirping birds and insects, crocking frogs and blowing wind are more vivid. You can enjoy a 2-person, 3 person and upto 8-person tent. Our guests are also welcome to bring their own tents or hire facility tents.
WATCHTOWER
One of very few spots in the country where one can gain a simultaneous view of four of Uganda’s central districts: Kampala (Kyaddondo), Wakiso (Busiro), Mukono (Kyaggwe) and on clear days, Kalangala (Ssese). The fresh breeze watch tower also offers a commanding view of the surrounding forest canopy and bird watching.
REPTILE VIEWING
The conserved lakeside broad-leaved shore plants (bushes) around the tip of our peninsula are shelter to a few families of Monitor Lizards. Although extremely shy and slip away as soon as they sense an approaching human, you are likely to spot the mid-size reptile at some point, especially in the afternoons when they come out.s.
