History of Gately

 Gately on Nile Photo album

Main House Gately on NileMerryde Loosemore is the proud proprietor of 'Gately on Nile', a uniquely renovated grand colonial guest house superbly situated on the shores of Lake Victoria in Jinja, Uganda.

Inspired by her Great Aunt Dorothy Gately, an adventurous spirit, once arriving in Uganda Merryde instantly fell in love with the country and its people. "The natural beauty of the country, the fabulous climate, the warmth of the people and the relaxed lifestyle all contributed to me feeling as if I had 'come home' she says. I saw the opportunity of realising another lifelong dream to live and work in Africa.

My vision was to create a 'home away from home'. Something very different from what was then available in the country. A tranquil retreat where excellent, personal service and good food combine with elegant and comfortable accommodation to create an "ultimate getaway". An intimate conference venue for corporate clientele, the ideal week-end away for families from Kampala, a convenient stop-over for those travelling to and from Kenya and an overnight haven for tourist and business travellers."

Gately on Nile opened in April 2000 after just 12 weeks of renovation from a very derelict property.
