Review of Nile River Explorers

NRE offers a fantastic base while you're visiting ...

NRE offers a fantastic base while you're visiting the Jinja area. We stayed for three nights.

Pros: The views (!!), Staff are fabulous, showers (hot), activities on offer and price ($35/night for a safari tent with amazing views).

Cons: This is a party place - we were kept up past 2am in both the safari tents and the double en suite. You just can't get away from the noise.

As an aside, in all our time in East Africa, this is the place I got bitten by insects the most - and we stayed in the Camp next door too without any problems! On our last night we actually had to move out of our tent because the bed was crawling with ants - we never ate in the tent, had no snacks and no drinks but sealed bottles of water. The staff responded brilliantly and we were offered a free upgrade to a double en suite room straight away. It's certainly not NRE's fault but worth bearing in mind.
