    “Wonderful, relaxing location with interesting history. The private cottages were quite spacious with a large balcony from which you can enjoy views of Lake Bunyoni. The staff worked hard to make the time there enjoyable and the meals were large...”

This beautiful Lodge is located on an island in the scenic Lake Bunyonyi in the paradisiacal Kigezi highlands. There are two national parks close by, Bwindi and Mgahinga, where the world famous mountain gorillas can be seen. A truly unique and unforgettable experience!!! The local name of this Island is Njuyeera, which means the “White House” in the local Rukiga language; it has a great history. For about 50 years, it was the home of Dr. Leonard Sharp, a missionary and doctor in the early years of the 20th century. Dr. Sharp and his wife developed a beautiful home and made this island a unique place. If you visit it now, you dine in the original house and experience the joy of an impressive botanical garden. There are many different plants and flowers from East Africa, and a vast population of exotic birds, which can only be found in this area. The island also offers a spectacular view of the lake and its surroundings from all different angles. The Sharp Island Lodge offers a combination of African flair and European standards.
