Funyula: The gem that makes one’s trip to western memorable

Funyula Town occupies a strategic position in the western part of the country.

It overlooks the eastern region of Uganda and the contrasts it presents - deep green forests here and open plains there - give its landscape a breathtaking view.

The strategic location of Funyula Town also makes it attractive for investment.

Activities such as boat racing festivals, riveting music and age-old cuisines are the scenes and things that welcome you to the beautiful Funyula.

In this part of the country, one samples outstanding geographical features in their natural glory.

On a calm evening, a lover of nature and its raw beauty easily catches a view of Lake Victoria at Sio Port.

At sunset, this view takes a golden tinge, as the rays of the setting sun elicit a shimmering spectacle from the expansive lake’s waters.

Besides, there is the cool breeze that comes in all the way from the lake, lifting the veil of heat that naturally comes with the blaze of the afternoon sun.

A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE
No matter what brings one to Busia County, making out time to visit any or all the beautiful scenes it offers is as rewarding as it changes the way one views the county.

For those keen on savouring popular delicacies that the region has to offer and the locals’ hospitality, a number of hotels and resorts have been put up by investors to take care of this need.

One of these places is the newly built Samia Resort, a hideout tucked in the beautiful hills of Samia district.

The resort commands a prime spot, nestling on the Samia Hills that run across the entire Funyula constituency to neighbouring Budalang’i in Bunyala distrct.

The Samia Resort exploits the natural beauty of its ideal location to give visitors a memorable experience.

The hotel’s setting is a perfect gateway for romantic tête-à-têtes and overworked corporate bigwigs seeking to recharge their batteries after long days of toiling in their offices in the brick and mortar of the city.
