Samuka Island Retreat – The Bird Sanctuary
Escape to a highly individual place…if only to remind ourselves…what essentials really are….
Accommodation Introducing Samuka Island, a unique and possibly one of Uganda’s ultimate getaway destinations. The island bird sanctuary is only one and half hours away from Kampala, Uganda but a world away from the crowd. There are over 50 species of migratory and resident birds found on Samuka Island. The island is now one of two known breeding sites for long tailed comorants and little egrets in Uganda.
Your adventure begins at the Source of the Nile, Jinja
To get there from Kampala. After crossing the Owen Falls Dam turn right at the first traffic circle. Pass under the Jinja-Kampala railway line and continue on for some 2 kilometres to join Main St Jinja. Turn right into Main St and continue turning right again into West Bell St. Proceed to the traffic circle identified by a Hindu temple on the left side taking the second exit (straight). After a few hundred meters make a left turn indicated Source of the Nile. Rumours Pub is located behind the main parking area.
