Where to stay in Uganda

Like many other safari destinations across the continent, Uganda has a mix of accommodation styles to chose from. Luxury tented camps are one of the most authentic ways to enjoy a safari and, although some feature modern luxuries like free-standing baths and private butlers, the experience is one of the most basic ways to connect with nature. Being surrounded by canvas allows you to hear the sounds of the bush as you fall asleep, and again when you wake up. Great tented camp options include Sanctuary Gorilla Camp in Bwindi Forest and Ishasha Wilderness Camp in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

If you’re looking for accommodation with more facilities, there are plenty of hotels and lodges across Uganda to opt for. Some of the larger lodges will have facilities like swimming pools, multiple bar and lounge areas, and private balconies. Some good options include Nile Safari Lodge and Kyaninga Lodge.
