Hotels in Kampala: Where to Stay in Uganda's Capital

Most safari travellers spend a night or two in Kampala before or after the parks. The main choices are the city centre and Nakasero for business hotels, Kololo for quieter residential guesthouses, and Munyonyo for lakeside resorts.

Traffic is heavy, so choose a base that suits your plans. See the Kampala city tour and things to do in Kampala.

This guide is part of our where to stay in Uganda guide. When you are ready to plan, see our Uganda safari packages or the Uganda safari holidays with Ameera Africa Safaris.

Places to Stay

• Kampala Serena Hotel: a five-star city hotel with gardens, close to Nakasero
• Fairways Hotel and Spa: a hotel beside Kampala Golf Course
• Speke Resort Munyonyo: a lakeside resort and conference hotel at Munyonyo
• Guesthouses in Kololo and Bugolobi: smaller, quieter stays

Choosing Where to Stay

• Stay near Entebbe for early flights; see hotels in Entebbe.
• Allow extra time for traffic between Kampala and the airport.
