La Fang Eco Resort has hosted a team of media professionals, digital content creators, influencers and photographers on a familiarization tour aimed at showcasing its luxury eco-friendly hospitality, unique experiences and the tourism potential of Dolwe Island.
The July 2026 visit was organized to position the resort as a premier island getaway while highlighting the growing tourism appeal of Dolwe Island in Namayingo District.
The participants travelled aboard MV Sigulu to the island, where they explored its scenic landscapes, rich cultural heritage and eco-luxury hospitality.
They also toured La Fang Eco Resort’s uniquely designed rooms and cottages, which blend modern comfort with the island’s natural rock formations. Resort management said the facility was developed with sustainability in mind, without removing its iconic rocks or trees, allowing visitors to experience nature in its original setting.
Speaking during the familiarization tour, La Fang Eco Resort General Manager Duncan Wandera said the initiative forms part of the resort’s broader strategy to increase awareness of Dolwe Island through authentic storytelling and digital content creation.
“We are delighted to host some of Uganda’s leading content creators and media professionals to experience Dolwe Island firsthand. Their stories, photographs and videos will help introduce more people to this incredible destination while showcasing the unique experiences that La Fang Eco Resort offers,” Wandera said.
As part of the visit, the team also handed over Explore Uganda branded promotional materials in support of destination marketing efforts.
Influencer Queen Tracy Nakabugo commended the resort’s accommodation and tranquil environment.
“The rooms are beautifully designed, the environment is calm, and the scenery is breathtaking. It’s the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy nature,” she said.
Content creator Simple Gladys described the experience as memorable and encouraged more Ugandans to visit the destination.
“La Fang Eco Resort is a hidden gem. From the warm hospitality to the exciting activities and the beautiful views, it offers the perfect escape for anyone looking for relaxation and adventure in one place,” she said.
The familiarization tour is part of La Fang Eco Resort’s strategy to strengthen its position as one of Uganda’s premier luxury eco-tourism destinations while promoting Dolwe Island as a must-visit destination.
Located on Dolwe Island in Namayingo District on the eastern side of Lake Victoria, near the borders of Kenya and Tanzania, La Fang Eco Resort offers visitors an island escape surrounded by natural rock formations and unspoiled scenery.
The resort combines modern comfort with sustainable tourism practices, offering guests a peaceful retreat while preserving the island’s natural environment. It welcomes both regional and international travellers and seeks to promote Dolwe Island’s landscapes, eco-luxury experiences and tourism potential while contributing to the growth of Uganda’s tourism industry.
Resort management says it remains committed to promoting sustainable tourism, preserving the natural beauty of Dolwe Island and creating memorable experiences that showcase Uganda’s tourism potential.
During the tour, the visitors participated in a range of activities, including quad bike adventures, farm visits, a “breakfast in the bush” experience, swimming, karaoke, guided island tours, boat cruises on Lake Victoria, goat roasting from the resort’s eco-farm and sunset photography sessions.
