The Nile Retreat

Itinerary

​

Day 1: Start your day off with an introduction to our beautiful riverside village, Bujagali. 
Our local, expert guide will take you on a leisurely tour around the village, providing 
you with a taste of how local, rural life if lived in the Pearl of Africa. Spend your 
afternoon floating on one of the calm sections of the Nile in a hammock, on a 
Stand Up Paddleboard. That’s right, you did read it right, a metal frame strapped to 
a few stand up paddle boards provides possibly the coolest and most chilled way to 
experience an iconic Nile River sunset… floating cooler box included! Dinner this 
evening will be a local feast prepared by a chef from Bujagali village. 

Day 2: This morning you’ll get to try Stand Up Paddleboarding on the Nile River and if you are up for the challenge attempt some Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga. This 
gentle and relaxing activity feels like you’re walking on water and our expert guide 
will show you all the basic moves to get you enjoying your float on the Nile. At this 
point we will move onto the Yoga, upon the calm and relaxing waters of the River 
Nile, beside the forested river bank as monkeys and an array of beautiful tropical 
birds provide the soundtrack. After a relaxing afternoon at camp, possibly reading a 
book and taking in the river view from the tree house deck or taking a swim in the 
river, in the evening you will head next door to the wonderful Black Lantern 
Restaurant for a delicious 3 course dinner and enjoy a drink by the pool.

 
Day 3: Your final morning with us starts with a river boat cruise, you will head out 
and explore the river with your captain, Chibby, who will help you find all the 
different, beautiful birds, monkeys and river otters as he takes you 5 km upstream. 
Here he will drop you off with your expert guide on your choice of super stable Sit
on-Top Kayak, with a partner, or Stand Up Paddleboard. Your guide will then lead 
you back down this beautiful section of calm, flat water passing the channels 
between the islands as you go, keep those eyes open for the African Fish Eagles and 
River Otters. In the afternoon you will be booked in for a massage or treatment of 
your choice at the Explorers River Camp Riverside Spa, what better way to end your 
weekend of relaxing activities before heading back out to your projects.
