The space
This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house is perfect for couples, groups of friends, or teams, and we’ve thoughtfully included amenities for children to ensure everyone feels welcome.

The home features a large, fully-equipped kitchen and a comfortable living room, perfect for entertaining or enjoying a quiet evening of games or TV. Begin your mornings with a cup of coffee on the veranda as you take in breathtaking views of the Nile. In the evenings, gather around the fire pit in the large, fenced-in yard, perfectly positioned to watch local fishing boats return as the sun sets.

To make your stay even more seamless, our guesthouse manager is on hand to help arrange adventure outings, set up transportation, or guide you through the unique beauty of Uganda. You’ll also find breakfast items waiting for you so you can enjoy a relaxing first morning on the Nile.

My work: Sole Hope
Speaks English
As a self-proclaimed hospitality enthusiast I love creating spaces that can make the guest feel welcome, while giving back financially to charity. Since 2013, I’ve found so much joy in curating spaces filled with locally sourced treasures & creating a place where both locals & visitors can kick off their shoes, unwind, & truly feel at home. It’s an honor to combine my passion for people & beautiful spaces in such a special corner of the world!
