Nyamu Nyamu

Uganda's most exclusive festival. Three days. One private island on Lake Victoria. Insider Club members only.

12 – 14 September 2026 Ssese Islands, Lake Victoria
What is Nyamu Nyamu?

Nyamu Nyamu is the annual gathering of the Kasuku Lugambo Insider Club — a long weekend on a private Ugandan island where members eat, dance, argue and rest together. Capacity is capped at 600 members. There is no public ticket. There is no waitlist. The only way in is through the Insider Club.

Three Stages

Headliners from Kampala, Mbarara and Gulu. Sunrise sets, late-night live bands and a secret stage only members find.

Pearl Kitchen

Ten of Uganda's best chefs cooking long-table dinners — Karamoja goat, Ankole steak, Acholi malakwang and a rolex bar at 2am.

The Roundtable

Off-record conversations with Ugandan founders, artists and political voices. No phones. No press. Just members.
