Uganda Hotel Guide

Uganda is becoming an increasingly popular tourism destination and there are not enough quality hotels to cater for the growing demand. When travelling during the peak season (July – September, December – January), you must reserve your hotels well in advance.

When looking for a campsite or budget guesthouse, we highly recommend using the free app iOverlander. Basically, every campsite is plotted and reviewed. You don’t need to book your campsite in advance.

Based on our own experience, along with other road trippers recommendations, here’s an overview of some of our favourite lodges in Uganda in all price ranges, listed in alphabetical order.

Do drop us a line if you have discovered a nice place that we haven’t included yet!

We have categorised the accommodation selection by price. Hotels listed in the budget price category do not necessarily refer to a budget experience; the service can be really good and offer outstanding value for money. Price categories are based on a double room:

• Budget: up to USD 100 (B&B)
• Mid-range: between USD 100 and USD 200 (B&B)
• Semi-luxury: more than USD 200 (often on Full Board)

Voor reizen in het hoogseizoen (juli – september en december – januari) is het essentieel om vooraf te reserveren. Bij de meeste lodges betaal je een aanbetaling.

Booking.com en TripAdvisor zijn goede informatiebronnen, net als onze eigen lijst hieronder. Ook op Airbnb vind je enkele verborgen pareltjes, vooral in steden als Kampala en Jinja. 

Reis je met je eigen tent? Dan raden we de iOverlander-app sterk aan. Bijna elke camping staat erin vermeld en is beoordeeld. Campings zijn overal goed beschikbaar en je hoeft meestal niet vooraf te reserveren.
