Our guest chef Micheal Greenshields has been managing to take enough time out of the kitchen to catch on film the ever-astounding array of birdlife. [...]

I have always loved living near vast amounts of water, whether it is near the sea, a lake or a river and if I can actually hear it, then I am at complete peace within myself. So, you can only imagine how I felt when I arrived at Wildwaters Lodge – I was overwhelmed!
I was surrounded not only by the sight, but by the sound of the Nile River and her thunderous, rolling rapids – I was at peace!

Fishing from the deck of their room, some guests at Wildwaters Lodge recently landed three respectable Nile Perch before releasing them back in the river. Around Wildwaters, as the name implies, the river is very turbulent and this creates a safe haven for large fish. It is too dangerous for fishermen to come near with their nets, and lines get swept away in the huge rapids that surround the island.
