To come out on top of a great pyramid of sheer innovative power is a tremendous achievement.
Places outside are ruled by men; Banga Bay Beach Resort is an inland destination ruled by nature. Scattered across all seven seas, across the islands and archipelagos.
One of the most interesting of all, lies about 10 nautical miles East of the Munyonyo upscale residence, at the center of the Mpatta Lake Victoria shoreline.
The only ways to get there is through high-tech marine boats and through the Mukono – Ntenjeru road stretch, eastwards of the Mukono District headquarters. “It’s only 20 minutes of sailing from the Mulungu pier, it definitely feels like a long day from anywhere!”
Banga is an inhabited place. With hospitable dwellers, great green surrounding and a palatial residence. The lake brings fascinating memories of a great shoreline paradise, with the earth’s mantle.
But what is life really like here, in Uganda’s more serene environment? The best way to answer this is speaking to Godfrey Magumba, a doctor who sought pleasure in the beautiful surrounding seven years ago.
“In 2014, my daughter Lindah Namutamba, after a discussion on investment asked me to help her look for land. After trials in Luwero and Buikwe, my heart drew nearer to the lake. As I moved further, my love for nature drove me to Banga, and that’s where I settled,” Magumba says.
At that time, the place was rough and without access routes, the water was amassed by a swamp and a landing site. “No serious person, at that time would live his home in Munyonyo and choose a settlement in a bushy area but water drove me further,” he adds.
The place, overtime kept improving, with Magumba and his family dedicating most of the time to improving the scrubs into a preferred destination.
Smiling while sitting just above the Potomac, the shadows of the great foundation of trees planted in the high inception times of the Beach Resort is where Magumba recollects the great deed in service offered at Banga Bay Beach Resort.

Godfrey Magumba, the resort owner talks about the banana’s, a delicacy in the central region and several parts of the country. “We decide to move around the surroundings. And of course, there is a starting point,” he says.

The Lake and the Sand beaches
Island and beach hopping and retreating comes with great sceneries, potential refreshments fascinating activities. The lake shores and a docking and proposing spot, in the middle of the lake along and in the water is an experience to remember.
“In fact this is where I should propose from,” one of the visitors at the resort says.
The Birds and Animals
The ducks, geese among other bird species create an opportunity for education to touring urban children who never get experience to view, learn and understand the metamorphosis of bird evolution.
The water ducks swimming on the lake and other bird sights and sounds within the camp site are great to experience.
At the bar

Indeed, once considered distant and mysterious, Banga is a place now bursting with potential in tourism, adventure, and education any urban person seeks to exploit.
