Bulago is just over 500 acres. From tip to tip it is nearly 2 miles long. There are about 6 kms of sandy beaches and about 10km of shoreline altogether, the balance of the shoreline is made up of rocky outcrops and low cliffs. Around the shore the soil is highly fertile and is in places tree covered. The north-east tip of the island contains a small portion of rainforest. The interior of the island is less fertile and is covered with savannah-like grassland. It is intended that Zebra and some antelope be brought to Bulago where they may exploit the savannah-like environment in the interior of the island.  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.

Ibero (Uganda) Limited has a highly trained and motivated team ready at any time to offer service and advice to suppliers and clients alike in order to guarantee a reliable and consistent flow of green coffee. With the re-establishment of political and social order and very positive economic development, Ugandan coffee production has enjoyed a dramatic recovery over the last decade. Once again, the country can be referred to as the "Pearl of Africa", as described by Winston Churchill in the 1940's. Part of the Ugandan Government recovery program has radically reformed the countries coffee economy. Central direction and control have been replaced by a free market, thus bringing obvious benefits to all levels of the Ugandan coffee industry. Most importantly, the farmer directly benefits from world market prices and is encouraged by tough competition to take exceptional care to produce good quality coffee. Ibero (Uganda) Limited, has thrived in the new climate of a functioning market economy and the opportunities ushered in by the coffee reforms. Robusta is native to the coast of Lake Victoria where it was first discovered. Ideal conditions exist in Uganda to produce an exeptional Robusta. Temperatures throughout the growing regions are mild and there are plentiful rainfalls. Generally occuring at night with the days warm and sunny - perfect conditions for producing quality coffee. Uganda also produces some fine Arabica coffee: Washed Bugisu from the slopes of Mount Elgon in the East with a crop which starts in October of each year, Washed Wugar from the North Western corner of Uganda, and Dry Drugar from the West. Ibero (Uganda) Limited, backed by the world resources of the Neumann Kaffee Gruppe, is one of the most reliable suppliers of quality Uganda coffees, with a rapidly developing local and international market presence. The company has established itself among the prime Uganda exporters enjoying a reputation for quality coffee, service and expertise.With warehouses and grading facilities located in Kampala and out-stations in all major coffee-producing regions of Uganda, Ibero (Uganda) Limited is in a position to rapidly source, grade and export coffee according to the client's needs.Quality is consistent and exports are well executed in spite of originating from a land-locked country.
