Uganda is a great destination. Though Africa as a whole is still underdeveloped in comparison to the west, Uganda has undergone massive changes and developments over the last ten years. Now tens of thousands of tourists base themselves in the capital while exploring the magnificence of this timeless land. Fortunately, there is a wide range of options when it comes to booking hotels in Kampala and the greater region.

Situated in the south of the country, Kampala is known for being one of the greenest cities in the whole of Africa. It is located in a wonderful spot surrounded by seven hills. Though originally settled many hundreds of years ago, today you will find a lively mix of old world charm, and modern development. You will not find the hustle and business too overwhelming as in many cities in this part of the world.

Today tourism is a vital component of Uganda’s economy. It is a sector that brings the country more than half a billion dollars annually. This would not be possible without offering a wide selection of accommodation that caters to various tastes. The up market chains all have a presence in the capital as well as in more rural locations. For example there is the Sheraton Kampala, Holiday Express, and Grand Imperial to name but a few.

If you have concerns about the quality of lodgings available outside of Kampala, then you should not have any worries. Of course the options are less but the service does not alter. Even when on safari or camping you can be waited on hand and foot. But if the cost is a concern to you the there is always the option of staying at a budget guesthouse or cheap lodgings.

You can spend many days exploring the sights and sounds of Kampala itself but even within a short drive of the city there are a number of interesting attractions. For example you could organize a visit to the Kasubi Tombs. These are the centre of traditional Baganda culture.

The Bahai temple is also worth exploring whilst in the city. It is the only one of its kind to be found in Africa. It is easy to take a stroll here from your hotel in the early morning or at sunset.

The people throughout Uganda are famous for their hospitality and friendliness. You will have no worries finding accommodation that is up to standard.
