Jinja BaseCamp opened in July of 2017 after what started as a conversation amongst friends of “what happens after the Hairy Lemon?”

Jinja BaseCamp decided to take up the gap left by Nile River Explorers Backpackers when their Jinja based backpacker closed in February of 2017. The team at Jinja BaseCamp are very proud of the continued lifestyle philosophy that was found on the Hairy Lemon Island  – that of “living in harmony with your environment”.

Jinja BaseCamp has a stunning thatched boma which houses the restaurant, bar, Nile River Explorers Reception for rafting ‘meet and greet’ as well as a beautiful swimming pool in which guests can cool off under an ancient Jacaranda tree.
