CHAIRLADY FOREWORD

Welcome to Uganda

I

am truly proud to present this issue to the world after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown. The fact that we still stand today is a testament to our resilience as Ugandans and specifically as the hotel sector in Uganda. The COVID-19 pandemic hit Uganda hard, but due to the tenacity, hard work and fortitude of our members, we are now well-placed to take advantage of the upturn in global tourism. Post-COVID, we also have an excellent range of newly opened hotels to offer new and returning visitors.

We pay special tribute to H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the President of the Republic of Uganda for the exceptional example he provided in handling the pandemic, making hard decisions that ultimately saved the lives of many Ugandans.

We also salute our men and women in the health sector for their dedication in treating the stricken, containing the spread of the virus, and minimizing the impact of the virus. Their efforts were nothing short of heroic, and continue to this day, even as we begin to reclaim normality.

Finally, we commend the entire tourism industry for all the recovery efforts and strides you have made to get back on

your feet. Now is the time to open Uganda up to the world once more.

As part of the tourism recovery efforts in Uganda, the Uganda Tourism Board launched the new “Explore Uganda” campaign, aimed at showcasing the beauty of the Pearl of Africa to the rest of the world. It will serve as a global announcement that Uganda is now open for business. Through this new publication, we wish to echo the voice of the tourism board and exhibit the range of accommodation facilities that we have to offer both our domestic and international guests.

CHAIRLADY FOREWORD

This publication also highlights the exponential growth of not only the hotel sector but also UHOA. Back in 2000 and with only limited resources, the late Dr BM Kibirige founded the Uganda Hotel Owners’ Association (UHOA), bringing nine local hoteliers together to form the first organisation of such a kind in the country.

More than 20 years later, UHOA has grown into one of Uganda’s most highly respected and widely consulted private sector trade associations. UHOA is also Uganda’s biggest tourism industry body with over 600 members across the country. The association’s portfolio boasts properties that range from Kampala’s five-star hotels to simple rural guesthouses or private B&Bs. But together, we speak as one unified voice.

As the sector returns to normal, we expect to see tourism once again become Uganda’s largest foreign exchange earner.

Pre-Covid, tourism was contributing up to 9% to the country’s GDP and bringing in $1.6bn in revenue. Moreover, the hospitality sector accounts for a significant share of all local employment, and this alone has made UHOA a force to be reckoned with in Uganda.

It is also worth noting that — in contrast to many other African countries — 95% of our hotels are privately owned and 86% of these are run by Ugandans. We nevertheless welcome and encourage foreign investment in our sector, and I am delighted to report that several notable international brands – such as Hilton, Onomo, Marriott and Latitude – are present here and have become UHOA members. The Government of Uganda through the Uganda Investment Authority has made available a host of incentives for investors in the tourism sector. Land is available in the industrial parks, as well as tax holidays for investments beyond a Ministry of Finance-defined threshold. We also have a tax exemption on all hotel operational materials for both domestic and international hoteliers in Uganda.

As the pre-eminent voice of the hotel and lodging sector, we remain steadfast in our mandate to lobby and advocate for a more conducive business environment for Uganda hotels.

We successfully lobbied for a stimulus package for all our members after the pandemic. Now that we have successfully negotiated this crisis, we look forward to lobbying for causes

most important to UHOA members. We will remain at the forefront for the upskilling, training and talent development within the hospitality sector, working in conjunction with both the government and various development partners to this end.

I would like to welcome you all to visit Uganda and to stay at a UHOA property. Uganda is the Pearl of Africa, singular in its existence and thus in your experience. We offer amazing weather, the friendliest people you’ll ever meet, and a plethora of tourist attractions and activities, most notably the majestic exclusive access to the silverback Mountain Gorillas, of which half of the world’s population call Uganda home. You needn’t take my word or it; come and draw your own conclusions.

As I conclude, I’d like to pay a very special tribute to our late Founding Father, Dr Bulaimu Muwanga Kibirige who passed away in September 2021. UHOA stands today because of the visionary foresight and tireless work of Dr Kibirige. Without his dedication, commitment and love, UHOA would not be standing today. I dedicate this edition of the UHOA publication to this giant of a man, and I promise to further the legacy he left behind. May his soul continue to rest in eternal peace.

Thank you.

Tubasanyukidde!! Tusanyuse okubalaba!! Karibu Uganda!!

TRIBUTE

Remembering Bulaimu Muwanga Kibirige The Uganda Hotel Owner’s Association (UHOA) owes its existence to the foresight and dedication of one man. This man was Dr Bulaimu Muwanga Kibirige (affectionally known to everyone in Uganda’s tourism sector as BMK).

BMK set up UHOA in 2000 when he persuaded nine other leading Uganda hoteliers to form the Association. His aim was for the hotel sector to speak with one voice. Over the years, and thanks to his guiding hand and wise counsel, BMK saw UHOA grow from its 10 founders into an organization with over 600 members. A truly remarkable fete and achievement.

BMK was a busy man with a wide range of business interests – not just in the hotel sector, but also in motorbikes, foreign exchange bureaux, as well as construction and oil equipment. But his most prized project was the Uganda Hotel Owners Association. Not only was he our Founding Father, he was also Chairman for two terms and thereafter Chairman of the Board of Trustees watching over UHOA and providing an oversight role until his demise.

BMK was a Giant on whose shoulders UHOA stood tall. His belief in what the association could achieve was insurmountable. So, it was with great sadness that BMK died in September 2022 at the age of 67 and after a long battle with cancer. His passing is a major loss for Uganda’s tourism industry. His legacy will live for generations to come.

May His Soul continue to Rest in Eternal Peace!

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOREWORD

A new dawn, a new normal

H

ello World! I am delighted to welcome you to the latest edition of the official publication of the Uganda Hotel Owners’ Association (UHOA). It’s a new dawn at UHOA, as we get out of operating in the “new normal” that we got accustomed to during the last two years and back to “business as usual” that moved our economy pre covid.

That’s without saying that were back to normal but with a “tweak”. We have taken the lessons learned during the past two years and applied them to the new business models we have discovered and we believe that through this we have now created a more resilient sector that will weather any future storms.

Founded in 2000, UHOA is now the leading voice of the hotel sector in Uganda as well as one of the biggest and most widely recognized private sector associations in the entire country.

Three years ago, we were celebrating the Association’s 20th birthday and everything in the garden looked wonderfully rosy.

Record visitor numbers to Uganda and growing hotel accommodation – both in Kampala and beyond – were both being enjoyed and our sector looked set fair for the coming year. We were also enjoying many firsts at UHOA i.e., UHOA was under an all-female leadership of both the Chairlady and CEO, truly grounding breaking in the tourism industry.

Then in early 2020, the entire world was struck down by the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic that, almost overnight, stopped Uganda’s tourism industry in its tracks.

Global travel ground to halt, Uganda’s borders were shut, and

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOREWORD

tourism and business traffic was reduced to a trickle. Uganda went on record as the country that had one of the longest lockdowns in the world, all in a bid to protect Ugandans from what the word had predicted would be a terrible death sentence for African nationals.

Our resilient members saw sharp declines in occupancy levels and many employees in the hospitably sector were sadly laid off. There then followed a difficult 18 months as hoteliers weathered the ongoing storm and prepared, as best they could, for a day when Uganda’s borders would eventually reopen. Notably we recorded 8 in 10 cancellations in reservations in the period March – June 2020, Hotels lost over USD half a billion dollars by December 2020 while 85% of all booked conferences were cancelled in 2020.

In terms of employment; 156,718 (57.2%) of all staff are on unpaid leave, 94,512 (34.5%) of all staff have experienced pay cuts, 20,059 (7.3%) are still on full pay while 2,705 (1%) were officially laid off. In Uganda, for a hotel to break even, it must operate at 40% occupancy.

By December 2019, Occupancy rates stood at 58.2%.

However, these fell to 4.3% occupancy between March – June 2020. Despite all this misfortune, the hotels did bounce back after the lockdown was lifted and begun the process of recovery.

I am pleased to report that the industry has now returned to pre-Covid levels and Uganda is once again enjoying strong visitor numbers as the world rediscovers the Pearl of Africa.

I like to think that UHOA as an association has played its part, first by supporting our members during the Covid downturn and, more recently, by working to get our sector back on its feet.

In the meantime, and throughout Covid, UHOA has maintained its key aims of sustainability, skills development, on-line and international marketing and enhancing the role of women in our sector. As the Association’s first female CEO I am particularly proud of the latter.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, I am pleased to witness our Association continue to grow with new members joining each year. And we continue to encourage hotel investors to come and join us here in Uganda. Our country undoubtedly offers a very conducive business environment and UHOA is ready and willing to serve you.

UGANDA HOTEL GUIDE 2023-24

INTRODUCTION

Spoilt for choice Visitors to Uganda have never had more choice of where to stay and what to do. In fact, the choice of accommodation available in Kampala is truly breathtaking.

10

UGANDA HOTEL GUIDE 2023-24

F

rom the five-star Kampala Serena and Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort to the humblest of family-run properties, there is something in the nation’s capital for everyone and for every conceivable budget. Similarly, though slightly more limited, the selection is also on offer in Uganda’s other two main tourist hot-spots – Entebbe (where the international airport is located) and Jinja, the source of the White Nile.

This wasn’t always the case, but over the last 15 years or so there has been a concerted effort – assisted by some generous government-backed incentives for hoteliers and would-be hoteliers as well by the Uganda Hotel Owner’s Association (UHOA) – to broaden Uganda’s visitor appeal.

UHOA has been at the forefront of the nation’s quest to upgrade and expand properties and work tirelessly with other stakeholders such as the Uganda Tourism Board, the

Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife & Antiquities and the Uganda Wildlife Authority.

The end result is Uganda becoming one of Africa’s premier locations for major conferences and exhibitions with our fourand-five star hotels being perfect to host delegates attending big international or regional gatherings.

Bounce back Like many of the world’s most popular tourism destinations, Uganda was not immune from the negative impact of the various Covid-19 lockdowns and travel restrictions that took place during 2020 and 2021. But despite an absence of foreign visitors, hoteliers held their collective nerve and there was no let-up in investment and training and, consequently, Uganda has quickly bounced back from Covid with an even better product.

INTRODUCTION

But top-notch accommodation is not just confined to the Kampala, Entebbe and Jinja triangle. In fact, Uganda has so much more to offer as a destination. The gateway to the Rwenzoris, Fort Portal, provides an interesting selection of hotels and guesthouses; a stay overlooking Lake Bunyonyi has lasting appeal and, of course, there are any number of highclass lodges and camps close to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park – one of only three parks in Africa where endangered mountain gorillas can be viewed in their natural habitat. There are camps and lodges but many tourists opt to base themselves in nearby Kisoro. Others combine Bwindi with a visit to Kibale National Park with its many species of primates.

National Parks Then there’s Uganda’s two main savannah national parks, Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth. Both are easily accessible from Kampala, but visitors are probably wise to choose at least one overnight stay inside the parks to fully appreciate their beauty, wonder and wildlife. Accommodation is relatively limited in both parks, but there is an upside as game can be

UGANDA HOTEL GUIDE 2023-24

viewed without the crowds that sometimes take the edge off the safari experience elsewhere in Africa.

Uganda is also one of the world’s premier birding destinations with over 1,000 recorded species. This stems from its diverse location straddling the East African savannah, West African rainforests and semi-desert areas of the north. Somewhat surprisingly, only two of these recorded species is endemic to Uganda: Fox’s weaver and the exotically named Rwenzori double-collared sunbird. A further 35 species, though, are classified as near endemic.

One thing is for sure. Whatever accommodation type is chosen, visitors will receive an exceptionally warm welcome in Uganda.

NATIONAL PARKS

Unique and stunning locations to visit

Uganda is blessed with a varied selection of national parks. These might not always be as well-known as some others in East Africa, but they certainly don’t lack abundant wildlife and provide, in many cases, quiet and unrivalled game viewing.

U

ganda’s game parks all offer something a little bit different and sometimes very different. Here you have the traditional savanna splendours of Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth national parks but complemented by some of Uganda’s more unusual reserves such as Semuliki and the gorilla parks of Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga as well as the Kidepo Valley. Not to mention, primate-rich Kibale or (extinct) volcanic delights of Mount Elgon.

Here is a full list of Uganda’s 10 national parks, which are all managed by the Uganda Wildlife Authority:

14

UGANDA HOTEL GUIDE 2023-24

Kidepo Valley National Park Size: 1,442 sq km Location: Northeast Uganda Remote Kidepo Valley National Park is in the northeast Karamoja region of Uganda and borders South Sudan. It’s dominated by 2,750-metre-high Mount Morungole. As the country’s most isolated national park, this is a destination for the cognoscenti and not for first-time visitors to East Africa.

Its savannah landscape which is home to spotted hyena, leopard, lion, elephant, zebra and Rothschild’s giraffe as well around 500 bird species. There is one lodge in the park as well as a campsite.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP) Size: 321 sq km Location: Southwest Uganda A Unesco World Heritage Site, ecologically diverse Bwindi is home to a population of over 300 endangered mountain gorillas, including several habituated groups, which can be tracked. This biologically diverse region is home to a further 120 mammals including other primates such as colobus monkeys and chimpanzees as well as elephant and antelope.

There are about 350 bird species including 23 Albertine Rift endemics as well as several types of frogs and butterflies.

Wide choice of camps and lodges. The park borders Virunga in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo and on the edge of the Albertine Rift.

Kibale National Park Size: 766 sq km Location: Western Uganda Contiguous with Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale contains about 70 mammal species including 13 species of primate (including habituated and endangered chimpanzees) and 375 bird species. There have been over 350 tree varieties recorded in the park and it is one of the last remaining expanses of both lowland and montane forests. There is one lodge within the park plus camping opportunities. It’s considered of Est Africa’s hidden gems.

Lake Mburo Size: 260 sq km Location: Southern Uganda Lake Mburo is one of the country’s smallest parks, but contains a surprisingly broad cross-section of plains game including zebra, impala, eland, buffalo, warthog and hyena in addition to leopard, hippo and Rothschild’s giraffe. But sadly, lions are no more. The varied landscape includes savannah, lakes, swamps and hills, with opportunities for absorbing game drives with plenty of animal and bird sightings. There are accommodation options close to the park.

Mgahinga Gorilla National Park Size: 34 sq km Location: Southwest Uganda Located in the Virunga mountains, Mgahinga is the second of two mountain gorilla reserves in Uganda, is less well known than Bwindi Impenetrable National Park but offers breath-taking landscapes in a confined area. Three are about 30 30 gorillas in the park, which is also home to the endangered and charismatic golden monkey, which in Uganda can only be found here as well as black-andwhite colobus. Perhaps surprisingly for such a small park, Mgahinga has a checklist of 76 mammal species, including elephant and leopard. A good selection of Albertine Rift endemic birds are here. There is no shortage of lodges and guesthouses within easy reach of the park.

NATIONAL PARKS

Albert, the name originates from a waterfall (also known as Kabalega Falls) on the White Nile. It is bordered by the Bugungu and Karuma Wildlife Reserves, which together form the Murchison Fall Conservation Area. The park is rich in wildlife with 76 species of mammal including hippo and elephant and over 450 bird species, including the iconic shoebill stork. Camps and lodges are available.

Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP) Size: 1,978 sq km Location: Southwest Uganda Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of Uganda’s most popular parks, with big game (elephant, hippo, Ugandan kob, leopard and lion along with 10 primate species and over 600 bird types. Accommodation choices include camps and lodges.

Mount Elgon National Park Size: 1,279 sq km Location: Eastern Uganda Close to the Kenyan border, the Ugandan section of Mount Elgon National Park is close to the city of Mbale and is dominated by Mount Elgon, an extinct volcano.

Visitors to the park can hike to the volcano or spot some of the park’s inhabitants on a game drive, including elephant, buffalo and the near-threatened lammergeier (bearded vulture). Look a little hard and visitors may also a variety of small antelope and duiker as well as black-and-white colobus, blue and red-tailed monkeys. Leopard and hyena may also be spotted.

Accommodation is available at Sipi Falls and Kapchorwa, in addition to an excellent choice in Mbale.

Murchison Falls National Park (MFNP) Size: 3,480 sq km Location: Northwest Uganda Murchison Falls is Uganda’s oldest and largest conservation area and its most popular. Located on the shore of Lake

16

UGANDA HOTEL GUIDE 2023-24

Totally different from any other Ugandan conservation area, this national park is a Unesco World Heritage Site, offering a combination of glaciers, waterfalls, lakes and even snowfields.

While the main attraction is the mountain range with 70 per cent of land located above 2,500 metres and its botanical curiosity, at lower levels the park is host to 70 mammal species, including elephant, hyrax, duiker and black-and-white colobus monkey, and over 200 bird species. Camps are available at Ruboni, Nyakalengija and Kilembe, plus accommodation in nearby Kasese and Fort Portal.

Semliki National Park Size: 220 sq km Location: Western Uganda Established in 1993, Semliki is one of Uganda’s newest national parks and in many ways unique to this part of East Africa. Mainly comprising tropical lowland forest, Semliki is home to countless bird species. There is also a non-contiguous and even bigger 542 sq km Semliki Wildlife Reserve – one of the oldest protected areas in Uganda and perfect place to view herds of buffalo and Ugandan kob as well as birds and chimpanzees. A lodge, guesthouses and camps can be found in the park, as well as accommodation in nearby Fort Portal.

Accommodation options in and around the park.

FAIRWAY HOTEL & SPA

Iconic Hotel forms part of Uganda’s History

F

airway Hotel was opened in 1969 and was one of Uganda’s first hotels. The then 50-room property was officially launched in 1971 by HH The Aga Khan.

But Fairway’s roots go back even further to 1927. Then the Hotel was originally a family home belonging to the Jaffer family. But a call from the Vatican in 1969 would see the home converted into a modest hotel for the delegation of Pope Paul VI – the first ever visit by a Pontiff to Uganda.

In 1972, during Idi Amin’s regime, Fairway Hotel was taken over by the Government and became an army base. From 1989-1991 it was use as the country’s first Hotel & Tourism Training Institute.

Boutique hotel The Jaffer family returned to Uganda in 1990 and saw the Hotel evolve into the 100-room boutique hotel with conference facilities, restaurants, swimming pools and beautiful gardens that it is today.

The rooms comprise executive, deluxe, standard and executive twin.

As the property’s name suggests, Fairway also boasts a Wellness Spa for those seeking pampering and rejuvenation as well as a fully equipped gym.

Fairway is famed for its Asian fusion restaurant adorned with exquisite traditional art and Thai sculptures. There is also the Tree-top restaurant set up in the trees, with beautiful views of the hotel, the Kololo hills and the golf course. The restaurant

18

UGANDA HOTEL GUIDE 2023-24

features a hearty breakfast buffet (included in the room rate), local (Ugandan) lunch buffet and Continental à la carte dishes.

The Professor Bar serves an assortment of cocktails, wine, and beer in a refined-yet-relaxed atmosphere. The lounge provides a place for in-house and outside guests to unwind at the end of the day with big screens for watching sport.

Fairway has 10 fully equipped meeting and conference rooms with state-of-the-art technological advancements: sound systems, wireless mikes, LED TVs, projectors and HD conference cameras. These halls are of various sizes and design, with the largest accommodating up to 180.

A professionally staffed business centre with secretarial services allows guests to access email, print, fax, photocopy, and surf the internet.

Fairway Hotel is perfect for life’s special moments. From unique and fun engagements to fairy-tale weddings and glorious honeymoons.

MICE

World-class business facilities The MICE sector (that’s meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) is, post pandemic, a fast recovering and increasingly important part of the global travel and tourism industry.

F

or many big city destinations, MICE is now more valuable in pure monetary terms that more traditional types of tourism.

This is because MICE expense-account, visitor-spend per day is usually significantly higher than regular leisure tourism.

Furthermore, MICE visitors can also obligingly fill hotel rooms at top-dollar rack rates in otherwise low or shoulder seasons.

Uganda has been quick to recognise the value of attracting these free-spending delegates – especially to Kampala, Entebbe and Jinja.

Now that the negative effects of Covid-19 are now behind the hospitality sector, the Uganda Hotel Owners’ Association (UHOA) and the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) are once again playing their part in encouraging more MICE visitors to the Pearl of Africa.

MICE

Meetings & exhibitions Pre-Covid, Uganda was regularly hosting over 1,000 meetings and exhibitions a year. It’s a remarkably impressive figure, but of these only a handful were categorised as ‘high level’ by the International Congress & Convention Association (ICCA). It will now take some time to win back this business as regional and international organisations reconvene at major events and conferences.

mostly by locally based businesses as well as international charities and NGOs. Entebbe is a long way back in third place but is poised to gain from the international airport’s growing number of airlines and aircraft serving the gateway and the eventual construction of the new Entebbe Hotel & Convention Center to be built between Entebbe and Kampala. The designs for this proposed project were first revealed in 2018.

Locations

In any case, Kampala is already blessed with some truly outstanding facilities – most notably the magnificent and jointly owned Speke Resort Munyonyo and the Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort.

Naturally enough, Kampala, with its impressively high hotel bed capacity, remains Uganda’s most popular location for meetings. Jinja is number two and much favoured for those out-of-town retreats and team-building events that are booked

The twin-property resort has been hosting conferences since 2001 and currently has three ballrooms, 19 indoor and six outdoor conference venues, making it the premier conferencing venue in Uganda. Its crowning moment came in 2007 when it hosted the prestigious Commonwealth Government Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) – an event attended by the UK’s late Queen Elizabeth.

In addition, three are other top-quality hotel and resort venues capable of hosting large events close to or in Kampala. They include the five-star Kampala Serena Hotel, whose Victoria and Garden auditoria can accommodate up to 1,500 and 1,000 guests respectively, and its out-of-town sister property, the Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa, which is similarly well equipped. The Sheraton Kampala Hotel, too, with its 1,027 square metres of conference space and meeting rooms, is an equally impressive venue.

Hotels Throughout Kampala (but also in Jinja and Entebbe) most hotels have conference, retreat and dedicated meeting facilities for more locally focused events – in fact, it’s a steady year-round revenue source for many properties.

So, whatever the type of meeting, Uganda has the perfect venue to meet just about every need or requirement, all located in one of Africa’s most compelling settings.

NZURI TIMBER

A gamechanger for Uganda’s hotel sector

W

ooden products are versatile and widely used as scaffolding, roofing trusses, doors, frames and furniture in the local construction industry.

It is a fact that most sawn wood in Uganda is produced and traded in an illegal and unsustainable manner while having a detrimental and devastating impact on the Pearl of Africa’s natural resources and landscapes.

Most tourists visit Uganda to experience the rich natural heritage inextricably linked to its tropical forest habitats.

Uganda’s hotel industry is a massive beneficiary of the tourism trade and is therefore duty bound to be seen at the forefront of protecting Uganda’s natural forest environment.

Many hotels have started adopting eco-friendly initiatives including reduced energy usage and elimination of single-use amenities while few are committed to using sustainable sourced timber for construction or furnishing.

consumers are prepared to pay an average of 31% more on a hotel brand that operates with a sustainable and responsible environmental impact.

Uganda has its own supplier of quality sustainable timber products being produced and locally and brand-named as Nzuri Timber.

Certified

The widespread use of sustainably sourced timber in Uganda’s hotel industry should be viewed as enabling a long-term strategic advantage in a highly competitive market.

Nzuri Timber is produced from timber grown on 6,750 hectares of FSC™ certified commercial tree plantations with certificate number SA-FM/CoC 006914 and planted by the 25-year old Jinja-based Busoga Forestry Company at its certified sawmill near Mayuge.

The long-term benefits of using sustainably sourced, reputably processed, and mature, seasoned timber far outweigh the short-term gains of using cheaper informal timber with its associated poorer quality and lower structural integrity.

The company’s products our proudly produced from mature pine and eucalyptus trees and include kiln-dried construction lumber, wall and ceiling cladding as well as beautiful outdoor decking.

Many modern-day tourists are discerning and very mindful of the impact that their travel has on the environment as highlighted in a recent global study that indicated that 80% of

Nzuri Timber is readily available on the local market and exports to countries such as Kenya, the UAE, France, he United Kingdom, Libya and the Netherlands among others.

In the heart of the Pearl of Africa, close to the Uganda Martyrs’ Shrine Namugongo and the Mandela National Stadium, is the very new Abba Hotel Uganda. The hotel is designed with guests in mind, to cater for business and leisure in a homely environment. It is truly a home away from home.

There are 45 individually appointed rooms, each uniquely designed to make every stay beautifully different.

There’s never been a wider choice

U

ganda’s vibrant and thriving capital city now has never had a wider choice of hotels to offer visitors – from five-star luxury to a humble family-run guest house.

There was a time when Kampala lacked the range of accommodation that many other African capitals had and, as a result, was not able to compete head-on for major global and regional conferences. This is no longer the case. Despite the setbacks caused by the recent global Covid-19 pandemic, Kampala is now considered one of continent’s top cities for events, conferences and other big important gatherings.

Kampala’s popularity and the continued success of the Ugandan economy has seen no let-up in the constricted of new hotels and the upgrading and expansion of the city’s existing stock.

Properties Visitors will find a good selection of quality properties in Kampala, with choices to suit different budgets and preferred location. Competition among hotels, coupled with increased staff training (a key aim of the Uganda Hotel Owner’s Association) has also generated higher levels of service and greater attention to detail. This is welcome news for visitors, who can depend on UHOA-rated properties to quality.

Uganda’s adrenalinfuelled capital

L

ocated on the shores of Lake Victoria, just 85 km from Kampala, and the source of the White Nile, Jinja is a popular destination and one best known for thrills and plenty of spills.

Jinja is recognised as Uganda’s adventure capital and it’s a sobriquet that’s well deserved.

This is because the White Nile, which flows from Lake Victoria, is deemed one of the safest places for Grade 5 white water rafting – the second most difficult grade – making it a popular choice for rafters from around the world. But there’s also kayaking and tubing.

Nakasongola Tel: +256 (0)774 347 729 info@ziwarhinosanctuary.com www.ziwarhinosanctuary.com Ziwa Rhino & Wildlife Ranch is located in Nakasongola district and is the proud home of Uganda’s only wild white rhinos.

Located 176 km north of Kampala on the Gulu Highway towards Murchison Falls, Ziwa is the only place locally where you will be able to see rhinos in the wild. Presently the sanctuary is home to 32 southern white rhinos. The sanctuary has become increasingly popular with tourists for rhino trekking, shoebill trek and canoe rides, birdwatching, night walk, nature walks and relaxation.

Restaurant and bar serves delicious homecooked meals and cold drinks.

Other less exhausting popular sporting attractions and activities include a nine-hole golf course (dating from 1912) as well as bird watching.

Jinja is a town that has had its ups and downs since independence. But it has bounced back in recent years due to an industrial resurgence and the growing important of tourism.

The ever-growing number of visitors and those travelling to the town on business have brought benefits.

There are many UHOA-member hotels in Jinja, with a further selection of bed-and-breakfast establishments, inns, camps and campsites. Most accommodation options in Jinja are modest in size and mid-range in price, ranging from apartments to small hotels to resorts – even alongside the White Nile itself.
