The best guesthouse I stayed in in Jinja Uganda was Home On the Nile , also known as Homeonthenile .It was a very clean very friendly place to stay .. HomeOnTheNile had 7 rooms and nearly all of them had ensuite bathrooms with hot running water ..Right by the source of the Nile on Lake Victoria it was a well placed guest house for me to walk to Jinja town center or Jinja City as it is now known
From Homeonthenile I was able to go fishing , swimming,Kayaking, Bungee jumping ,White water rafting and white water tubing . HomeOnTheNile had very large balconies for dinning with friends .They also had two large bird tables which attracted many of East Africa indeed Jinja’s finest birds ..You could say Uganda has a wonderful array of birds to discover and Home On the Nile has many of them hovering around
The other thing it is worth mentioning is that the breakfast at Home on the Nile was excellent with fresh fruits , a well cooked omelet , toast jam and very good coffee ..There were many backpackers there when we arrived but they all seemed very comfortable in their dormitory which at only 15$ seemed to be very reasonable ..
So you could say that Home on the Nile or HomeOnTheNile if you like is not just a guesthouse or guest house but a bird sanctuary as well as a backpackers hostel .. Many of the backpackers staying there were from the USA and from Holland Germany, France Italy UK Great Britain and Ireland as well as many home people from Uganda itself
Its always nice to see so many mixed cultures enjoying themselves together as they were in the restaurant at Home On the Nile ..The bar was also well equipped with Cocktails Club beer ,Nile beer and so on
Anyway I’ll close this Nile Blog now and let you travelers get back to whatever lazy en devour you are currently partaking in down there in Jinja Uganda ,
Jinja truly is a great city right here by Lake Victoria and running close to the Nile ,there is just something about its wide quiet streets , its lack of traffic , the kind loving people and the warm hospitality of places like Home On The Nile down in Jinja town
Thanks for reading
