Chairman’s Foreword

Drive to make ‘top’ destination even better Welcome to the latest edition of the UHOA Uganda Hotel Guide as Uganda celebrates 50 years of independence. The Uganda Hotel Owners’ Association (UHOA) is a trade and lobbying organisation that includes almost all of the nation’s hotels, lodges and camps among its members. UHOA sets high standards for its members and those included within this publication can all be recommended by our Association, from Kampala’s finest five-star property to a more modest guesthouse far away from the capital.

We still need to do more in regard to promoting Uganda and to giving visitors more reasons than ever to come and enjoy our country, the Pearl of Africa; but rest assured that UHOA, along with the Uganda Tourist Board (UTB), will be at the forefront of this drive.

B.M. Kibirige

Chairman, Uganda Hotel Owners’ Association (UHOA)

expansion Uganda has witnessed a vast expansion of its hotel sector and this growth continues – at a slower rate in Kampala than in the recent past, but just as energetically outside the city as capacity grows to meet demand. Lonely Planet has rated Uganda the world’s top mustsee destination for 2012. I am sure this assessment is correct and we, as an industry association, are working hard to live up to Lonely Planet’s star billing. It’s easy to see why Uganda is so highly thought of. We have some of Africa’s best and most varied wildlife parks and certain strengths in terms of our attractions and activities – especially our range of primates, our incredible bird species and the continued popularity of adrenalin sports centred on the town of Jinja.

Introduction

A must-visit destination of wonder and beauty

Lonely Planet has rated Uganda the world’s must-visit destination. Those already familiar with Uganda will no doubt concur with the wisdom of this rating, while those who have not yet been to the ‘Pearl of Africa’ may well be persuaded by the Lonely Planet’s description. What they will find is an increasingly self-confident nation that is celebrating its 50th anniversary of independence. It is also a nation with a buoyant economy, an improving infrastructure and a tourism sector that continues to go from strength to strength as Uganda’s national parks, spectacular waterfalls and unbeatable biodiversity become better known and more imaginatively packaged. Uganda has not always been at the top of everyone’s visit list as neighbouring countries with much bigger tourism marketing budgets have stolen the show. This is changing, however, as the uniqueness and sheer variety of the destination become more and more apparent.

Like most African cities, Kampala is no beauty spot. But it’s a pleasant enough place with an agreeable climate and the city is comparatively clean and trouble-free, if a bit congested at times. Kampala has a number of spectacularly good five-star properties at one end of the spectrum as well as a selection of smartly run business hotels and a whole bunch of reasonably priced places to stay.

success Kampala’s success is due mainly to its role as a business and conference centre. But the city is also a major base for NGOs, charities and other similar agencies working to improve the everyday life of ordinary Ugandans. These organisations all seem to run seminars and workshops for local people. Most of these events are held in the city’s hotels, providing a sizeable slice of their income. The nation’s capital has been experiencing a huge boom in hotel construction with still more new

dollar rates from well heeled visitors. Even where Uganda does score in providing a near-unique African product, such as in gorilla trekking and hill walking, the potential has yet to be fully exploited. Many will find this an attraction.

properties in the pipeline, although the pace of hotel openings has slowed in the past couple of years. Many of these properties are independently owned and run, providing a mixed bag in terms of quality and service. Kampala has an 18-hole golf course right in the middle of town and a reasonably good selection of restaurants, although there is still some room for improvement here. The nightlife of Kampala is the envy of East Africa and, what’s more, Ugandan beer is generally agreed to be the best in Africa.

So, despite the swift rise in the number of hotels and other types of accommodation, there is still much to be done – especially outside Kampala, Entebbe and Jinja – to ensure that Uganda matches the quality on offer elsewhere. But at least the country is moving in the right direction. In the past, owing to a long and unpleasant period, Uganda was held back in its development as a tourism destination. One thing is certain, however: Uganda is catching up fast.

powerhouse Beyond Kampala, and in opposite directions, there are the two lakeside towns of Jinja and Entebbe. Jinja was once Uganda’s industrial powerhouse, but today it is more of a centre for adventure tourism, while Entebbe provides most visitors with their first glimpse of Uganda after arriving at the international airport. Other towns of note include Fort Portal (close to the Rwenzoris), Mbarara and Mbale, where visitors will find accommodation of reasonable quality. But the real beauty of Uganda is to be found in its landscape and national parks, of which there are 10 in total. Out in the national parks there is still work to be done in providing more upmarket and intimate camps and high-quality lodges of the kind which are so popular elsewhere in East Africa and which command top-

National Parks

Huge diversity of national parks is major bonus Uganda has 10 national parks. But it’s the sheer variety of these parks that sets Uganda apart from other destinations across East Africa. Uganda does have ‘traditional’ open savanna parks with elephants, giraffes and big cats. More than that, however, it also has smaller wildlife areas inhabited by highly diverse, and sometimes endemic, species of flora and fauna; enjoying highly varied climates and at different altitudes. For example, Uganda is home to 13 of the world’s primates, including half of all mountain gorillas and large populations of chimpanzees.

On the debit side – and this is something that needs to be pointed out – Uganda came through two decades or more of civil war and unrest that left many of its national parks badly affected by conflict. Thankfully, those days are now in the past and Uganda’s national parks are thriving once again. Some may not have returned fully to their past glory, but

they are well on their way to recovery and the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) must be commended on its good work in this regard. UWA has also been supported by external agencies that have recognised the significance of Uganda’s wildlife areas and the unique role many of them play in world biodiversity. As a birdwatching destination, Uganda is probably unrivalled anywhere, with an astonishing 1,000 or so bird species, some of which are endemic. In fact, many visitors come to Uganda just for the birdwatching. It really is that good.

forest that stretches across the Congo Basin and is famed as the home of the Batwa people.

Apart from the primate-dominated parks in the west of the country, there has been little in the way of sustained tourism development in the parks owing to past events. This has resulted in some major parks having, perhaps, just one lodge inside the gates and relatively few visitors compared with Uganda’s near neighbours.

The pick of Uganda’s open savanna areas are the 3,840 sq km Murchison Falls (Uganda’s largest) and the 1,978 sq km Queen Elizabeth National Park as well as the much smaller Lake Mburo National Park. Both of the bigger parks provide a wide choice of accommodation and growing numbers of plains game and are within easy reach of Kampala.

heritage site

Offering a complete change of landscape and environment and located in the extreme east is Mount Elgon Nation Park. Dominated by Mount Elgon, which has the largest volcanic base in the world, the park has its own collection of animals at lower levels, while at higher altitudes there are exotic flora and an opportunity for visitors to climb to the caldera, 3,000 metres above sea level.

One of the best known of Uganda’s national parks, and certainly the most memorably named, is Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a Unesco World Heritage Site. Covering only 331 sq km, Bwindi is the best place to see the critically endangered mountain gorilla. Gorillas can also be viewed in Mgahinga National Park. Kibale National Park is a forested area for higher primates, with 13 available to see including chimpanzees. Uganda’s other natural Unesco World Heritage Site, the Rwenzori Mountains National Park, offers an altogether different experience, with high mountain passes and unique examples of flora. The Rwenzoris also provide one of Africa’s truly great hiking experiences. While Semuliki National Park, in the remote west beyond the Rwenzoris is the furthest extent of the

Perhaps the least visited and most inaccessible is the 1,442 sq km Kidepo Valley National Park in the far north, close to Kenya’s Turkana District and straddling the border with South Sudan. The remoteness and untamed wilderness of Kidepo has been its salvation and the park emerged largely unscathed from Uganda’s troubles. For many, the 700 km trip from Kampala is worth the journey as there are 77 different mammals and about 475 birds to see. With 10 very different parks from which to choose, Uganda presents a truly varied destination – one that keeps visitors coming back time after time.

Adrenalin sports

Uganda is without doubt East Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top destination for fun-filled adrenalin sports. And Jinja is the base for those seeking to add thrills and spills to their otherwise leisurely trip to Uganda. The top sport is white water rafting, which has been around since the mid 1990s, and today there are several companies offering trips on the fast-flowing stretches of the River Nile below Jinja. There is rafting and then, for the really adventurous, there is extreme rafting, offering a chance to shoot the truly ferocious Grade Five rapids using smaller-than-usual rafts and with passengers certain to spend time in the water. This activity can be combined with river surfing.

Jinja water sports: a new definition of fun

A less dangerous but no less exhilarating means of seeing the Nile is by 450 hp, 12-seater jet boat. Again, these boats operate from bases in the Jinja area. This particular wind-inthe-hair fun ride is open to passengers of all ages (well, from five upwards) and costs about $75.

PARAGLIDING Newly added to these daredevil sports is tandem paragliding from Mount Wanale in Eastern Province. Paragliding as a commercial activity began in mid 2012, providing a fresh challenge for those looking to enjoy as many of these white-knuckle sports as can be crammed into a visit to Uganda.

The submerging of the Bujagali Falls, as a new dam project takes shape, has had some impact on rafting, but just means that trips now start from a location further downstream from the centre of Jinja. The fun and excitement remain just as intense and the dangers are undiminished. Bungee jumping is equally popular, but instead of leaping from a high bridge across a river, the jumpers use a specially built platform 44 metres above and out into the River Nile. This platform is located next to the Jinja Nile Resort.

GETTING AROUND

Air is ideal, but safari bus option works well Getting to Uganda’s game parks from Entebbe or Kampala can sometimes be a long and arduous road journey. On the plus side, it is a great way to view the always-green countryside and to see something of everyday local life.

charter only For those flying in to Entebbe and wishing to make just one short trip – for example, to Bwindi – a tour vehicle may not be the most suitable option. And that is where Uganda’s air charter sector comes into its own.

Most tour operators will prearrange overland transport and, for guests intending to visit more than one park, this option makes a lot of sense. Tourists can stick with one vehicle and one driver for the duration of their visit. Some hotels in places such as Mbarara even specialise in providing stopover accommodation for visitors on their way to the national parks.

As Uganda has become an ever more sophisticated destination in terms of tourism services, flying has become a better – if more expensive – choice. Unfortunately, some improvements are still needed if Uganda is to match the level of domestic air services offered by its neighbours. For example, there are almost no connecting domestic flights from Entebbe International Airport.

GETTING AROUND

In fact, and for such a large country, scheduled domestic air services are relatively few and far between. Eagle Air, for example, operates a regular flight from Entebbe to Arua on most days, but all its other destinations are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;daily on requestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, with Pakuba airstrip being offered only as a diversion stop on the Arua service.

Bus services

From Kajjansi Airfield, between Kampala and Entebbe, and from the International Airport, it is possible to fly to Murchison Falls National Park (Pakuba airstrip) and to Queen Elizabeth National National Park (Mweya airstrip) as well as to more difficult-to-reach spots such as Bwindi (Ishasha), Mgahinga (Kisoro), Rwenzori (Kasese), Semliki and Kidepo Valley (Apoka). But flights to these destinations are generally on a charter-only basis and are not available as scheduled services.

For the more adventurous, there are buses, 14-seat matatus (for longer journeys) and boda bodas (for short trips in and around town). Good bus services operate from Kampala to many of Ugandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main towns and also to international destinations such as Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. All three modes are not without their dangers as their safety record leaves something to be desired. Sadly, and despite the splendid railway station in Kampala and a reported 1,266 km of track, there are no passenger train services in Uganda.

Central Uganda - Kampala

Better-than-ever choice in booming capital Rarely has a city been transformed so quickly. Just a few years ago, the choice of where to stay in Kampala was rather limited. Maybe this was a hangover from Ugandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark days of the 1970s and 1980s and the fact that it took a while for the Ugandan economy to make a full recovery. But a full recovery is exactly what happened, as previously exiled business people returned to Kampala with money to invest. A changing point came with the 2007 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. This acted as the catalyst for an unprecedented boom in hotel construction, fuelled by generous subsidies, that has

only just begun to slow. That meeting also gave an emphatic signal that Uganda had fully returned to the Commonwealth fold and informed the world that Uganda was open for business.

Yet, despite the additional bed capacity brought by the construction boom, there are still times when finding a room in Kampala can be difficult. The city is now regarded as a major venue for regional, continental and even global conferences and it can be a problem if your visit to Kampala coincides with one of these events. From the point of view of the city and its hoteliers, of course, it’s a nice problem to have.

growing economy In addition, the Ugandan economy continues to grow at a rate that most developed nations would envy as business visitors flock to the nation’s capital. And, with the discovery of oil, rooms have become a little harder to find and hotel rates have also reflected this situation. More hotels are due to be opened, with each hotel company hoping to carve a niche and eager to differentiate itself in a crowded market. This applies especially to locally owned, mid-market properties built by wealthy investors entering the sector for the first time. Kampala has an impressive range of properties, from internationally recognised five-star brands at the top

end of the scale to homely, price-conscious, family-run guesthouses at the other. In between, there is a range of properties including good quality business hotels, secret hideaways, classy boutique establishments and those run by organisations such as churches.

springboard At the same time, some well known brands that started life in Kampala have used the city as a springboard to set up similar, but mostly smaller, hotels in other towns such as Entebbe and Mbale. Hotel construction has not been focused on any one particular area – although there is clearly a concentration of good quality properties close to the Uganda Golf Club and around Kololo. Therefore, visitors can pick the location that exactly suits their needs – and will probably have a choice of two or three hotels once they have done so. So Kampala has come of age at a time when prospects for Uganda as a nation have rarely been brighter.

Some visitors, preferring to stay outside Kampala, also use Entebbe as a base to see other parts of Uganda.

AIRPORT As the former seat of government until independence in 1962, Entebbe is still the location of the official residence of the president; and the magnificent State House, with its impressive gated entrance, dominates the town.

Next to the main airport road, is Entebbe’s original high street. Now somewhat overlooked and easily passed by, the street does give visitors a glimpse of past architectural styles and an impression of local life before the switch of capital to Kampala. Entebbe is home to one of Africa’s oldest 18-hole golf courses, dating from 1901, and the original clubhouse is still in use. The course is in remarkably good condition, presenting a stiff but enjoyable test for golfers of all handicaps. It’s also remarkably inexpensive to play and, apart from weekends, the course is largely deserted. Today, Entebbe is easily missed as visitors move quickly through the town to and from the airport. This is a pity, because this is a truly delightful and quiet spot with splendid views over Lake Victoria. It’s easy to see why Entebbe was originally chosen as the colonial capital.

Central Uganda - Jinja

New lease of life for elegant lakeside town Life has sometimes been tough for Jinja, which has seen its fortunes ebb and flow since the arrival of Indian traders at the start of the 20th century. These traders helped to develop a rather beautiful lakeside town that was once the heartland of Uganda’s industrial sector. By the late 1950s Jinja was at the peak of its powers and, today, a walk around the town will reveal that many of its finest buildings date from the early post-war period. Low-cost hydroelectricity from the new Nalubaale Power Station only accelerated Jinja’s post-war development, as did the establishment of a major textile operation employing up to 3,000 people.

companies and organisations. The city’s peaceful atmosphere and a reputation for high attendance from delegates often give Jinja the edge over the nation’s capital, only 80 km or so away by road.

During the 1970s and 1980s, however, Jinja went into a sharp decline with the expulsion of the town’s Asian community. Now the town is back to its best as business thrives once more and many of the people who left have returned to reclaim their properties and launch new commercial ventures.

In terms of accommodation, hotels in Jinja are mostly small and family run, with one or two notable exceptions. Most have views over Lake Victoria or the River Nile. This is a great venue for a weekend getaway, with lots to see and do, especially for the young at heart.

investment These returnees have brought investment with them, even if it is only to restore their family house. Jinja city centre, so carefully laid out during colonial times with broad, treelined avenues and art deco-style architecture, is now full of activity again. With Jinja’s economic resurgence has come the development of niche tourism. Jinja is East Africa’s top destination for thrillseekers, with white water rafting, bungee jumping, jet-boating and river surfing all on offer for those who like to live life on the wild side. At the same time, Jinja has become a popular awayfrom-it-all conference venue for Kampala-based

Northern Uganda

‘Overlooked’ region has plenty of tourism potential Northern Uganda is the least developed and least visited part of the country – a region that has been overlooked and felt overlooked ever since colonial times. Today there are few hotels and good accommodation remains difficult to find. There are one or two properties of a high standard in the regional economic capital, Gulu, and a couple more in Lira, and that is more or less it.

off limits The reason for this lack of tourism is easy to understand. Northern Uganda and northern parts of Western Uganda were off limits for many years as the Ugandan government battled with the so-called Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) – a low-level war that was to continue well into this century. Linguistic and cultural differences between the Acholispeaking and mostly pastoral people of the north and

the largely agricultural Bantu in the south have caused friction in Uganda for many years. Exploiting these differences and Northern Uganda’s perceived lack of development, the LRA was able to use the region as a base for its very unpleasant activities. Thankfully, those hostilities are now history and Northern Uganda is peaceful and ripe for tourism development. The potential is certainly here. Gulu Airport has the second-longest runway in Uganda but at the present there are few if any regular flights. But the situation will change as Gulu becomes more popular and as Uganda’s own domestic air sector grows to meet demand.

Western Uganda

Gorillas provide ultimate draw in region of splendid parks

Western Uganda is gorilla territory and as such it is the most visited tourist area of Uganda. But there is more to this area than just primates. It is a region of national parks that are returning to their former splendour thanks to the good work of the Uganda Wildlife Authority and other agencies. This tourist trail is dominated by the evocativesounding Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This 330 sq km park is now a Unesco World Heritage Site but, more importantly, it is home to roughly half of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population of mountain gorillas. Viewing permits cost $500 per person.

primates Gorillas can also be viewed in the much smaller Mgahinga National Park, close to Kisoro. In addition to gorillas, Western Uganda is an ideal place in which to view other primates. Fort Portal is regarded as the gateway to the Rwenzoris. It attracts walkers who wish to spend a comfortable night in a hotel before tackling a tough hike. Some of these last several days and reach altitudes of over 4,200 metres through the mountains. Fort Portal

is also within easy reach of Kibale Forest, the best place in Uganda to see chimpanzees, and Queen Elizabeth National Park. Also within easy reach is the 220 sq km Semuliki National Park. This hidden gem is the only low-level tropical rainforest in East Africa and its fauna include an astonishing 11 mammal species that are endemic to the park. In terms of lakes, Western Uganda contains both Lake Albert and Lake Edward. Both are much visited by tourists and boat trips are especially popular, with opportunities to view impressive hippo pods and crocodile populations. Bilharzia-free Lake Bunyonyi is a further attraction. Thankfully, the lake is also free of hippo and crocodiles, so it is ideal for swimming. In fact, this small lake is the second deepest in Africa and its unusual topography, with a scattering of small islands, makes it an attractive weekend destination. The area contains a handful of properties catering for visitors, while some of the islands are home to Batwa communities.

Eastern Uganda

New properties in land of mighty Mount Elgon Eastern Uganda remains underdeveloped in terms of tourism. It has very few good quality hotels and only two, perhaps, in Mbale that could be considered of international standard. As many tourists head west after arriving at Entebbe International Airport, this has left the east of Uganda little visited and largely overlooked by foreigners. This is a pity, but there are signs now that this situation is changing, with an upmarket lodge in Mount Elgon National Park and other indications that investment in being channelled into the region.

straddling In fact, Eastern Province’s principal attraction is Mount Elgon, straddling the Uganda-Kenya border, the oldest and largest solitary volcano in East Africa. The extinct volcano covers an area of about 3,500 sq km and is 4,321 metres high at its highest point. A feature of Mount Elgon is its series of spectacular waterfalls, of which the three Sipi Falls are the most notable.

Mount Elgon is an enjoyable climb and is surrounded by national parks on both sides of the border. Mountain biking is popular, but there are no places to hire equipment, so enthusiasts must bring their own bikes. There are tracks to follow and it can be a tough climb on the uphill sections. Day hiking, abseiling, archery and fly-fishing (for trout) are also on the menu.

volcano Close to Mount Elgon is Mount Wanale, a little-known sister volcano rising to 2,320 metres. It’s a three-hour walk to the summit. In mid 2012 Mount Wanale became the base for a new paragliding operation that is bringing tourism to the area for the first time. Up in the extreme north but still in Eastern Uganda is the hidden gem of Kidepo Valley National Park. Difficult to reach but this is probably Uganda’s best wildlife park.
