We are a mixed culture family. Johnson is from Uganda and Anthea is from England. We have three children aged 18, 16 and 11. We have recently come back from living in England and set up home here in East Africa. We would love to share our home with you, whether you are passing through, or need to stay longer. We have self contained apartments if you wish, or you can stay in one of our rooms. We are happy to include you in our family meals for an extra price or you can do your own thing. We enjoy cooking and have a mixture of African food and English food, plus the usual Italian dishes. We live a 10 minute drive from the town of Jinja on the shores of Lake Victoria. One main attraction is the Source of the River Nile. There are boat trips and kayaking on the Nile as well as white water rafting further down the river. There are also plenty of quality places where you can eat out, as well as swimming pools to enjoy. The Main Street is full of little shops with locally made craft items, clothes and beautiful art which support the people who live here. We can arrange for a driver to take you into town for a small fee or to drive you around for the day. The good thing about staying with us is that you will have a better idea of what it is to live among the people of Africa in a secure environment.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
