GUIDE ON PINEAPPLE BAY RESORT IN UGANDA

Pineapple Bay Resort Overview & Where Is It Located?

From Entebbe you can take a 45-minute boat trip over the shimmering waters of beautiful Lake Victoria. Or perhaps an 8-minute helicopter ride over the waters, enjoying an aerial view of some of the 86 islands dotting the lake before you land on the private Bulago Island in southeastern Uganda’s Ssese archipelago. Upon your arrival on the 500-acre island, you’ll be greeted by pristine sandy tan-colored shores and the sight of Pineapple Bay Resort’s terra cotta colored buildings.

A deluxe accommodation, the resort features attractive Swahili coast architecture with all the romance of Arabian Nights. Spend languorous hours in the warm sunshine in Lamu beds or loungers beside the swimming pool, shaded by palm trees. Take a dip while enjoying spectacular views of the lake and the crescent-shaped bay spread out in front of you, teeming with gorgeous shorebirds.

Key Takeaways

  • Fascinating architecture that combines elements of Swahili elements
  • Swimming pool surrounded by loungers for sunbathing and napping
  • Bulago Island reached by a 45-minute boat ride or 8-minute helicopter ride from Entebbe
  • Tan colored sandy shores fringed by lush tropical greenery and turquoise waters of the lake
  • Pier leading out into the lake for panoramic vistas or even fishing

What To Expect At Pineapple Bay Resort Accommodation?

Key Takeaways

  • Deluxe Beach Tier 2 Experience. Total of 8 rooms
  • Choice of lake-facing units or rooms standing further back in the gardens
  • Covered patio with island-style armchairs for napping in the warm sun or enjoying the splendid views
  • Ensuite bathroom featuring a single vanity and walk-in shower area
  • Brightly-colored furnishings reflecting the myriad colors of the flowers and birds
Pineapple Bay Resort has just 8 rooms for vacationers, including 6 Lake Facing Cottages standing on the water’s edge and 2 Garden Cottages at the rear side. After being provided with a welcome drink of the sweetest freshly-squeezed pineapple juice and refreshing towels, you will be shown to your room. An outside veranda area leads to the bedroom and ensuite bathroom. Island-style beds with mosquito netting and vibrant furnishings are a treat for the eyes. Unpack your belongings onto custom-built racks and store valuables in the safe. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower and a basin set against an expansive mirror (where else to stay around or near Lake Victoria - Entebbe).

Things To Do (Activities & Tour Attractions) & Why Visit Pineapple Bay Resort In Entebbe?

Key Takeaways

  • Barefoot strolls along the beach or exploring the rocky crags on the shoreline
  • Wandering through the grassy meads in the center of the island or rainforest on the northeast
  • Pony rides for going bird watching to sight some of the 200 species of avian life
  • Fishing excursions to catch varieties like Nile perch, tilapia, and other freshwater fish
  • Trips to Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary to view the primates and conservation efforts
Enjoy your barefoot lakeside holiday on this beautiful African tropical island at your leisure, perhaps rambling in the fertile areas along the beaches or exploring rocky crags. In the center of the island lie rolling grasslands, while the northeast section has lush rainforest that abounds with more than 200 species of avian life. Check out the safari walking trails that are free of traffic, save for a few ponies, or follow one of the paths to a hilly elevation to enjoy stunning vistas of the lake and the beauty of the island. You might even spot a few crocodiles, otters, snakes, and monitor lizards.

While the presence of crocodiles, bilharzia, and hippos make it ill-advised to swim in Lake Victoria, you can go sailing. Prebook with AfricanMecca a fishing boat for angling tours and you might just catch tilapia, Nile perch, and other freshwater fish. You could also travel to the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which can be reached by a short 30-minute boat ride. Spend some time with the resident chimpanzees with a half-day or overnight trip before making your way back to Entebbe (tours and attractions). The paradise island of Bulago will no doubt make a welcome respite after your action-packed adventures in the national parks of Uganda.
