Hello again,
On both of the previous visits made by the 'team' to Ukerewe, we stayed in the same hotel which is quite near to the Ferry Port and Nansio Town. The signboard below shows all of the facilities available at the hotel.
Every time we arrived back at the hotel, we received a very warm welcome from George, the Hotel Manager who would meet us here at the entrance.
The bedrooms were basic but clean, complete with mosquito nets. Pegs on the wall were provided to hang up any clothes.
Each bedroom had its own 'en suite'. There was a plastic bucket and jug under the shower for those occasions when there was no electricity to pump the water, so you are advised to leave the bucket full, just in case you need to take a shower by pouring water over your head using the jug.
Breakfast in the Dining Room consisted of an omelette or boiled egg with bread and jam, all on one plate. Tea or coffee was usually served black. We also met each evening for a meal and a discussion with regards to what we had achieved that day and catch up with all the news.
The really magical part of the hotel is the view from the grounds at the front which stretch right down to the edge of the lake. It was very pleasant in the evenings to sit with a nice cold beer watching the sun go down over the water.
The local population use the lake to swim and bathe in. In the background you can see the Ferry Port which is the gateway to Ukerewe.
What could be more relaxing than to spend some time here after a busy day, just letting the world go by?
Until the next time,
Best Wishes,
Derek and Diane.
Fantastic.
