Dutch-owned Nature Lodges' most ambitious venture takes the form of an ambient Islamic fort in a commanding location overlooking the Albert Nile. It has fine dining, good service and rooms oozing with safari style (go upstairs for the best views). The gorgeous rooftop deck has loungers shared with darting multicoloured agama lizards. There's a swimming pool and wi-fi in the works.
If you're looking for a more classic safari-style accommodation, there's tented camping set up on an expansive campsite. The rooftop bar is another perk.
