Things to do in Central Region
1. ViaVia Entebbe
Overall Ratings
5 based on 275 reviews
ViaVia is located alongside beautiful fish ponds with a spectacular view of the water and the opposite hill in a lush green environment: plain African nature full of birds, monkeys, turtles and more. All rooms are self-contained with lodge-style mosquito nets overlooking the garden. Our garden, backyard & pond view rooms have private verandas. We also have three stunning tents that are fully equipped and have everything guests need for a fantastic glamping experience. From freshly made smoothies and local beers to some good old Ugandan coffee: our beloved bar has it all. On today's menu you will always find fresh and healthy food, spiced with world flavours and a Belgian touch. If you’re lucky, you can share your breakfast with the resident monkeys playing in the trees while you’re relaxing on our outside terrace or in one of our hammocks.
Fabulous in Every Way
Reviewed By LilytoothI stayed at Via Via at least 3 times in Aug. and Sept. 2021. It's one of my favorite hotels of all time. The staff is extraordinarily kind and competent. One day a restaurant server called my attention to a rare, shy sitatunga (antelope), knowing how much I appreciate all wildlife. The staff helped me with transportation and with getting copies of my Covid tests for travel. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need. The food is delicious. The property is gorgeous and lush with a little pond; the outdoor dining area overlooks the pond. Prices are very reasonable. Via Via feels like home and I can't wait to go back!

An oasis of serenity and support in a busy city, and a gateway to Uganda
Reviewed By stellacF2872FRWe have been visiting Red Chilli for several years for a mix of business and pleasure, and were delighted to find it has retained its atmosphere of friendliness and fun post-lockdown, following the easing of travel and other restrictions. We could not have done our work at Butabika Hospital so effectively without the support of Debbie, Anton, Katie and their team of lovely local staff. Nothing was too much trouble, and with improved internet (including in the rooms) we were able to connect with our colleagues across Uganda. And when work was done we had the friendly bar, home-cooked food (the best pizzas we've ever tasted), and a lovely garden and pool, with great views and many birds, to enjoy. The on-site ATM and easier transport links via the new Kampala ring-road also helped. At the end of our project Red Chilli organised a superb and well-priced mini safari for us, which reminded us what a beautiful and varied country this is, with cheerful, welcoming and resilient people and wonderful wildlife. We highly recommend Red Chilli for anyone visiting Uganda with modest means, and who does not require frills, but wants a multi-cultural experience in an authentic setting.
4. Luxury Acacia Villa with Kampala's Best View
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
Easy to find around
Reviewed By CharlieBeauAcacia Villa is easy to find since it pops up on Google Maps and thus Safe Boda, for example. That's a real plus when you are staying at a new place. I found Acacia Villa on airbnb. (It has a great write-up and lots of room options at this and a second building very close by). I then extended my stay for another few days. I opted for the shared dorm which was fine because most nights I was the only resident. There was a metal trunk in the dorm (tip. Always carry your own padlock with you). Accommodation is quite basic but regularly cleaned. Towels aren't provided (but perhaps you can hire them?) Plenty of water for hot showers; reliable internet. Rates are room only. Breakfast is $4 a day for a set menu EG fruit and freshly made samosas. You can also buy beers and sodas on site. I enjoyed meeting the owner Austin. He is interested in every guest and makes everyone feel welcome, whether expats like me, international tourists or Ugandans returning to visit family. Benjie was friendly and very helpful. Acacia Villa runs a good show. I recommend staying with them and, despite the proximity to Kisementi, it's not that noisy, just a hum of background traffic. Good view from hill. Pretty at dawn!

AVOID THIS PLACE
Reviewed By 성백이MY WORST EVER EXPERIENCE. This is CRAZY PLACE EVER which makes zero sense to everyone. I stayed there for 10nights. On the last day, I got to hostel from outside at 10pm. I pushed the buzzer twice and my friend was honking the horn twice. The worker opened the door and said "ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU ARE WITH CRAZY PEOPLE" This two worker were completely high on alcohol and marihuana. I tried to suppress my anger and tried to talk with them to figure it out what problem is. But this guys have completely got insane. They act as if there's no one except them. So I called the owner. But owner has a problem as well. Only one thing he's concerning about is that I'll make a bad review. What I want was their sincere apologize. He didn't seems as though he would apologize about this situation. I've been traveling world 2years. I haven't gotten mad like that night. They should've apologized for this problem, even if I did a mistake! I didn't want to stay with them, I had to change to the other hostel in 12:30AM. DO NOT GO THERE. AVOID THIS PLACE AS POSSIBLE AS YOU CAN. There're the another good hostel called FAT CAT, RED CHILLI, BUSH PIG. Spend money little bit more, stay well.

Elementis Entebbe is not your ordinary Guesthouse, nor a crowded backpackers, but something special.

Our themed modern rooms add to the fresh touch and we focus on quality, cleanliness, and service all at good value for money.

So when you’re planning your next trip to our part of the world, book your spot at our guest house. We look forward to welcoming you!
Perfect location, clean guesthouse and very friendly staff
Reviewed By 354olygWas a very nice experience and a very relaxing way to finish my 6.5 weeks in Uganda. The guesthouse is incredibly clean, with numerous areas to relax (and even play monopoly!). The staff were all incredibly helpful and even showed me the best places to find local food. The location is very good - the lake is just across the road with attractions such as the botanical gardens, the beaches and the mall all within walking distance. ‘The Rolex Guy’ is an amazing food place not too far from the guesthouse I would definitely recommend this guesthouse due to the quality experience that you will have while avoiding the very high prices that some of other hotels are charging. A nice bonus was that this place had the best wifi i found in all of uganda XD

Reviewed By marielee2014Sunbird backpackers hostel is a great place to stay if you are wanting somewhere close to the airport. They will arrange a taxi for 10usd. Lydia and Patrick are super kind and helpful. Rooms and bathroom/shower are clean. I was the only one there (quiet season).

Shine Country Resort Hotel Christian faith-based hotel in Kitiko, Mutungo near Lake Victoria - 16 comfy bedrooms, restaurant, coffee shop, wellness & gardens
Friendly and hospitable team
Reviewed By B3830XJmartinbThe place is very nice, comfortable for parties like weddings, meetings, birthday parties etc. The food is very delicious served hot. Staffs are very welcoming, good customer care and the general manager is very very disciplined with his team, professionalism is the key in the hospitality sector. I commend them for this. In terms of location, Shine Hotel is a great location to base activities on Lake Victoria such as bird watching, and spot fishing or just take island drive The hotel has put enough amenities for children to play. Come here early and weekday are best to visit.
