The Nyege Nyege festival is the world’s biggest underground essential electronic music festival bringing artists from all over the world and has been hosted in Jinja since it’s inception.
Unlike in the past where the event was held at Nile Discovery Beach, Nyege Nyege will be shifting venue this year, moving to Itanda campsite.
Over the years, accommodation has always been a big point of consideration for one to get the ultimate experience from the festival. Options available for accommodation include hotel rooms in Jinja City, Camping tents among others.
This year, the Nyege Nyege resort, the first of a kind make-shift hotel in Uganda will be providing accommodation at the festival venue saving partiers from having to take long drives to Jinja City and back to the venue.
The resort will provide Luxurious Glamping for the weekend of 15-18th September 2022 at Nyege Nyege itanda campsite to give people luxurious Glamping at any place of their convenience.
