The Haven Eco River Lodge

About the Lodge

A peaceful, well-maintained eco lodge set on a bend of the White Nile about 20 km northwest of Jinja town, overlooking the river's first waterfall where the famous white-water rafting begins. The falls below the lodge are unaffected by the Itanda dam, so the sound and view of rushing water remain intact. Consistently rated among the best family-friendly lodges and restaurants in the Jinja region, it is solar-powered, uses hot filtered spring and rainwater, and is built with natural materials in earthy tones. From the terrace, guests watch fish eagles, otters, monitor lizards, monkeys and a wealth of birdlife over the river. About 24 km from the Source of the Nile and Speke Monument.
