I spent a weekend at Tongolo Resort Beach with a few friends, and honestly, it was everything we needed.
The staff welcomed us like family from the moment we arrived. We did the boat cruise to the Source of the Nile, rode quad bikes, played beach soccer, and ended our evenings by the campfire.
The food was fresh and full of flavour, especially the grilled fish and the fruit platter. Everything just felt easy and unhurried, like time moves slower there.
If you need a quiet place to relax without feeling cut off from fun, Tongolo is it.
