LVSC is aiming to make the island as self-sufficient as possible. A number of local farmers are able to provide a range of fruit (Bulago pineapples are heavenly) and vegetables. Ducks, chickens, suckling pigs and goats are also available and the prices are very reasonable - a whole suckling pig for £8, for example. The fish - Nile Perch and Tilapia - can be caught by line or bought from the fishermen and is quite delicious.
LVSC has established a small farm and various European vegetables such as courgettes, green beans and aubergines can be bought when available. Other goods, such as wines, meat and luxury items can be bought in Kampala. Basic essentials are cheaper than UK but luxury goods are more expensive. Activities Sailing on the lake is great fun, and a laser is available free of charge for the use of club members. A small sailboat or a windsurfer is highly recommended for owners and can easily be launched from the beach. Waterskiing and tubing is available through the Lodge or an owner could invest in a speedboat.
One of the great pleasures of Bulago is the sheer range and diversity of walks available and with two dominating hills on the island, the views can be magnificent. The size of the island means that walks can range from quick strolls through to full-blown hikes.Bird watching is another great past-time on Bulago and the range of birds is dazzling - even to non-twitchers. Ngamba Island chimpanzee sanctuary is located just 4 miles south of Bulago Island.
Ngamba, known locally as Chimp Island, is home to 30 orphaned chimpanzees and is run by the Jane Goodall Trust. Horses thrive on the island and there are currently two Somali ponies used for riding. LVSC can provide a livery service if an owner wished to purchase a horse (about £750 landed on Bulago), or the ponies - more are planned soon - can be hired for trekking.
It is intended that donkeys and carts will soon be available on Bulago for transport and pleasure rides. LVSC does not wish to encourage motorised transport, although there is a degree of flexibility if there is good reason. Currently, there is a policy of prohibiting two stroke engines on the island and jetskis are not allowed; this is quite simply to preserve the essential peace and tranquillity of the Island.
