Let-up Treat

Wake up to birds chirping to a melody that only you can comprehend. Choose between two options of participating in a nature walk or having a “stay” room cation for the morning.

Let the wind carry the soothing cries of the hills, the trees rustle over your heads, and lead your Souls back Home. OR A state of Dysania is completely understandable. Stay in the comfort of your room, the order in, reminisce, and take time to get utterly lost in each other’s space. For an unforgettable late afternoon bliss, go for a one-hour Boat Cruise.

There are some Islands with an unforgettable history like; The Bushara Island – it is rumored that Lake Bunyonyi might have got its name “a place of many little birds” from this Island because of diversity in nature (for example; eucalyptus, shrubs, and many more) and Habitation of over 200 bird species. The Akampene Island (known as the Punishment Island) – where unmarried Pregnant girls were left to drown if they tried to swim back to the shore or left to starve to death.
