The mansion Hotel was more than what I expected. On arrival the receptionist was already waiting on us and their were other staff who come to just make sure they are working on us. The swimming pool is soo clean and their break fast wow is soo nice and it presentation. The room was soo clean, their is hot water in the shower and the room are cleaned every morning after your approval, if you want your privacy they don't force you literally that place has given me the best holiday memories. The lady receptionist is soo happy and how she handles customers OMG I'm sure she need like a salary increment hahaha but all in all these guys are very excellent in their service delivery.

Dearest Hotel Zeptan, Words cannot express our gratitude for the enchanting experience we had at your beautiful haven. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a world of warmth and elegance. Your staff's genuine kindness and attention to detail made us feel like cherished guests, not just visitors. The beauty of your surroundings was simply breathtaking. Every corner whispered stories of tranquility and charm, creating an atmosphere of pure bliss. Our room was a sanctuary of comfort, a place where we could truly unwind and recharge. And the food! A symphony of flavors that tantalized our senses and left us wanting more. Each dish was a masterpiece, a testament to your culinary artistry. Thank you, Hotel Zeptan, for creating an unforgettable stay. You have truly captured the essence of hospitality, and we will cherish the memories we made within your walls forever. With heartfelt appreciation, Abel mailu

The water games were nice, on my to do.

The water games were nice, on my to do. I went there for the festival, an amazing time. The place is dusty around November, but totally worth it. Adrift has nice water games: bungee jumping, rafting. You can also do water slides, visit the source of the Nile and do a boat drive. The party life is lively, and their liquor is so cheap ☺️

Two full days were sufficient for me.

Two full days were sufficient for me. Could be more if people are into water activities. Visited Source of the Nile which was interesting but not\ happy to have to pay a 6% charge for use of debit card. Deli cafe was excellent for coffee and lunch.

Its our second visit to Jinja, our first was post Covid. This time was great everywhere was open, We went back to the Yelliw Chill restaurant which I can highly recommend.. There are lots to see and do in Jinja, from boat trips on the Nile to 'Tree hoping ' for the adventurous.!

Lively, busy, typical African vibe.

Lively, busy, typical African vibe. Rather primitive and very basic. Shops have very limited supplies and don't expect anything sort of modern. People are very friendly, and some of the street food is really tasty. People and Shops in Jinja have never heard of camping gas cylinders or canned condensed milk. Should you have a local person who can accompany you, you can have a good night out on the town at the various street taverns. Also, always check your change after you have bought something. The locals are industrious and will seize every opportunity to short-change you (even the lady at the foreign exchange). Accommodation is very basic, and you can count yourself lucky if you have access to hot water. Beautiful scenery on the lake and at the origin of the Nile river.

Jinja was really peaceful, and staying at the Nile was serene. Loved the monkeys too. The kids/ teenagers and older folks loved it, we would go again and for longer. There are other activities to do as well, such as the Nile cruise and tubing, which we did not do on this visit.

A bustling place and easy to walk around or take a body body. We were working there as part of a project and manager to find most of the tools and equipment we needed. Remarkable amount of wildlife closer to the Nile - lots of birds, insects, flowers.
