Every weekend we hold our Sundowner tent camping at different campsites along the river Nile and on some special weekends like 9-12th November, we get a big festival in our town Jinja.
What is a festival without outdoor tent camping?
The Sunny Outdoors Nyege Nyege Sundowner camping will be at the Bourbon riverside campsite next to the Bourbon bar, 200 meters from the festival grounds. It comes on a special weekend for Jinja town, campers and festival lovers attending the Nyege Nyege festival weekend being held at the source of the Nile.
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 our home town Jinja since it's inception.
This sundowner camping weekend will be special as we set up at the Bourbon campsite which is next door to the festival grounds giving any festival goer an option for an out of festival ground Sunny outdoors camping experience.
