Top 10 Bed and Breakfast Inns in Kampala, Uganda

May 3, 2023 Leonarda Pillsbury

Near the banks of Lake Victoria, Kampala, the capital of Uganda, is a lively city with a long history. Before the British, the city was the capital of the Buganda Kingdom, and remains so to this day. The city sits on several hills, each housing an important government or religious building. Kasubi Hill is the home of the Kasubi Tombs, a sacred burial ground of Buganda Kings. The Uganda Museum sits atop Kololo Hill, and features a hands-on collection of traditional musical instruments.

Safari with Five Horsemen

I did a safari to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and the Murchison Falls with Trevor. He was an incredible guide- he was very knowledgeable about the parks and all of the animals. I would definitely do a tour with him again and can only recommend this tour!

Reviewed By donaldt839

I recently spent a week at Hotel Kenrock. No complaints at all. The room was fine, the price was excellent (51,000/- per night), everything worked, everything was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful. My laundry was cleaned properly and returned promptly. The hotel is close to the Kabalagala entertainment strip, and there are also a couple of restaurants close to the hotel. The hotel has a restaurant too, I ate there a couple of nights and can recommend it, especially their paneer curries; they also have a well-stocked beer fridge?. And even when I did have a small problem (plumbing in the bathroom) everything went well. The repair man arrived just a few minutes after I reported the problem; and as soon as he finished a cleaner appeared to clean up after him.

Our family of 11 stayed at Papaya for the weekend and for the baptism of the children. The bedrooms were large and clean, I was pleasantly surprised to have pure white soft bedsheets and towels. We arrived at 2am and the staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The food was delicious, again I was pleasantly surprised. They helped organise the baptism lunch where we hosted another 50 guests. We had some Ugandan food which we enjoyed. We will book again after our safari. Thank you Papaya.

Our group leader booked our group of 8 here for a couple weeks and I didn’t know anything about it til I arrived. What a treasure! The rooms were clean, the bed comfortable, delicious food (everything the 8 of us tried was so good!) peaceful setting, and a lovely outdoor dining area and lounge. The front desk staff, food waiters, housekeeping, drivers, security guards were all so kind and helpful. It soon felt like home away from home. I would definitely stay here again.

Ewaange - A Casa Mia

Stylish villa with stunning views

Reviewed By Lyndsey M

We followed google maps which was a mistake as it was a crazy drive up into the hills on some very steep and challenging dirt tracks. There is an easier route thank heavens. Even so - totally worth it. The house is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and has lovely friendly staff. The beds were super comfy with crisp white linen. The view from our balcony at night was stunning. Hot shower, excellent pressure and a choice of 3 types of breakfast. We each chose a different one and all agreed that they were delicious. Having driven out of Kampala this morning I’m glad we were out of town in the suburbs - haven’t seen traffic and driving like this since India!
