Wag Hill Lodge & Spa

Wag Hill Lodge & Spa — Lake Victoria's Most Distinctive Eco-Lodge

Wag Hill Lodge & Spa sits on the tip of a peninsula jutting into Mwanza Gulf on Lake Victoria's southern shore, 30 minutes from Mwanza town. With more than a kilometre of protected waterfront, two natural harbours that have become breeding grounds for world-class tilapia, and a setting of "breathtaking granite rock structures that appear to defy gravity," it is visually unlike any other Lake Victoria property. The lodge is designed for minimal environmental impact — eco-friendly, unobtrusive, with cottages, luxury tents and a penthouse.

Reviewers describe "an unforgettable experience — the surrounding rocks, green hills, pleasant and welcoming staff, beautiful birds, lake view cottages and delicious food." Activities are unusually broad: speed boat cruises, hiking to see lion, a zoo, horse riding and two swimming pools. "We found everything in one place — adventure!" Another review from a guest who stayed with their son: "This eco-friendly and unique lodge in the hills and shore of Lake Victoria was an unforgettable experience. The green hills, pleasant and welcoming staff, sounds of beautiful birds and lake view cottage made our stay truly memorable." Spa treatments, fishing, motor boating and rowboats complete the offering. The lodge is 11 miles from Saanane Island National Park.
