DreamBreak: Bugala Island, Uganda

Relax at a tropical hideaway, go on a boat trip to Virgin Island & enjoy self-guided fun (trip does not include In-destination Support).

About Your Trip

Escape the everyday with a well-deserved DreamBreak and enjoy your DreamTrips™ Membership a different way — on your own, instead of in a group! Your DreamBreak does not include an In-destination Support team member so you can create your own adventures, your way.



Your very own secluded island paradise is waiting! Bugala Island, part of the Ssese archipelago, resides in the northwestern part of Lake Victoria, one of the African Great Lakes (and the world’s largest tropical freshwater lake). Its shoreline and beyond is home to much wildlife, including hippos, Nile perch and shoebill birds.

Included in your exciting family-friendly DreamBreak is a daytrip to Virgin Island. After a short boat ride, you’ll arrive at this virtually untouched island. While there, you can relax in a hammock as the gentle lake breezes swing you or stroll around the island and watch for birds. Plus, a picnic awaits you — there’s nothing more delightful than feasting in the outdoors!

During the rest of your stay, your itinerary is entirely what you make it. Start early in the morning and end late at night — the choice is up to you! You’ll find plenty to do at your lodge, all with stunning Lake Victoria as your backdrop. Swim and sunbathe at the pool, walk along the stretch of beach and look for shells. Soothe your body and mind with a trip to the sauna. Want to venture further? Head to the Kalangala Golf Course — only 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from your lodge! Or, go on one of the exciting tours offered by the lodge. At night, enjoy a bonfire on the beach and watch the sun descend and disappear on the African horizon.

No matter what activities you choose to do, be sure to fuel up each morning and evening with a complimentary buffet breakfast and dinner.

What we love:

• Visit the central market in Kalangala for a look into the local way of life.
• Forest walks are a great for wildlife sightings such as monkeys, birds, butterflies and more.
• Located in Eastern Africa at the equator, Uganda welcomes a variety of travelers, especially nature lovers. The country offers an incredibly rich biodiversity of animals and plants, from blue monkeys and long-eared owls to the lemon grasses that grow on the savannas.
