Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Victoria

Our stay at this property was exceptional. Norbert, the host, is kind, welcoming, and very responsive. He takes great care of his property, making sure everything is in perfect condition. The five rooms were exactly as described—spacious, clean, and ideal for our family. Having a washing machine was a huge bonus, especially with children, as it allowed us to keep up with laundry during our stay. Norbert also rented us his car for the two weeks, which was incredibly handy. The car was clean, spacious, and fit our family perfectly, making it easy to explore the area. The fast and reliable internet connection was another highlight, helping the kids stay on top of their homework and allowing us to stream and stay connected without issues. The property felt very secure, with CCTV and two lovely German Shepherd dogs that we adored. Abdul, the caretaker, was incredibly helpful, always available to assist us, even late at night. His kindness made our stay even more comfortable.

Pendo's facility was so beautiful and restful. One gets the sense of security; ease of access and the serenity from nature in the surrounding area. Pendo's airbnb facility is highly recoomended. To top it all, Pendo is a proactive, friendly, responsive hostess. We would happily recommend this facility to both local and international travellers. Thank you.

At Elizabeth’s apartment you’re gonna find a home away from yours. Security first off is great; with a day watch person and a night security team. The perimeter wall surrounding the premises appears top notch too. I personally never once worried for my safety, unlike previous times I’ve lived elsewhere in Kampala. The road close by is being used as a detour by several suburb residents, so expect a little noise during rush hour times. Besides that little noise there is pure serenity in house and outside, in the gardens south of the premises. The staff is ever attentive, so helpful, always smiling regardless time of the day, and most importantly so respectful. Even on cleaning days they worked on our schedule and never intruded in our space. The a/c was a little hard to work initially, but Elizabeth gave us instructions and it was smooth sailing afterwards. Observe the solar energy guidelines provided in the apartment and use the power meaningfully. Overall, this is a place i came to love and call home. Everything is as advertised, except that neon shower: that’s way better in reality than in the pictures. I would definitely recommend and also stay here again when in Kampala. Thank you Elizabeth.

we have a wonderful experience at John's place,he helps us a lot,John and his partner Jacob are expert in finding animals.

We spent a total of 6 days at Innocent's house and it was a very wonderful stay. John, the onsite security and all-around guy, and Betty the property manager were both exceptional hosts. Bringing my wife and our two little girls , and my wife's parents to Uganda (Africa) for their first time might have been a challenge, if not for Innocent's property and staff. We definitely did not miss the Silicon Valley while we enjoyed our vacation by the golf course at a place not too far from both the airport and Kampala city, the accommodations were very comfortable for us. John became like part of our family (definitely went above and beyond his job description). Thank you Innocent, John and Betty, we already want to come back.

Our stay on Bulago island at Tom's house was just great. From the house, beautifully situated above the water on the far west tip of the island, you have an amazing view over the lake, which gets even better with every step you climb up behind the house up to the hill, which is the highest point of the island. The house is fully equipped with all you need and Tom is an awesome host! We'll soon be back.

My family and I had a great stay at the cottage. My 18 month old had space and play... run and even a swing. We enjoyed the silence ... a great gateway from city life. The view of lake Victoria was amazing...( a true gem )

Great stay in Mwanza, great location.

It was a joy for me and my partner to stay at Jenny's place. The location was calming and peaceful; a good getaway from the hustle and bustle of Kampala. The bnb is located 15min from Bule Landingsight where we docked with a boat organised for us by Jenny. The boda boda ride to the tucked-away sanctuary was just as scenic as the journey on Lake Victoria. We specifically enjoyed the privacy of the bnb including how quiet it was and the outside kitchen with all amenities. The birds and other interesting wildlife spotted on the property were an extra perk for me. The staff was helpful, discrete and dedicated to helping us have a good time. We will certainly be back in future.

The place is worth visiting. A perfect place for recollection and rest. Thanks for being a great host

The place is simply amazing with great modern amenities from free wifi, cable tv and hot water. And most importantly the view of Lake Victoria and surrounding atop the hill are simply beautiful. Excellent service from communication at get go to pick up at the airport and hospitality at the residence among if not the best. The security and transparency were particularly amazing. I got more than I expected. I enjoyed my stay and shall come or recommended for friends again and again.

We had a great time at this place. The caretaker was helpful and considerate. The private garden provided a great playground and featured the occasional wild birds as well as fresh fruits. Definitely recommendable

wow what a gem! we had a really beautiful stay with Alison. The views were unbeatable, the swimming was divine, we ate like kings and loved hearing about Alison's colorful life. we saw an incredible array of bird life and watching the otters swim up and down the bay was a real treat. her spot is really special. your stay in Uganda is incomplete without a stop over on Bulago Island.

We had a wonderful touch down in Uganda thanks to Tim and the kind staff of the house. They made us feel extremely welcome in this special secluded part of Entebbe. They prepared amazing food, showed us around and answered any questions we had. A perfect start of our holiday. Highly recommend!

My family and I had an amazing stay at White Hill Villa. The place is gorgeous and spacious- perfect for a large group. The house manager, cook, and house help were all very communicative and made our stay comfortable. I would definitely book to stay again.

was my second time at Bernadettes place and like the first time allready i felt back at home, i will definitely come back again

Perfect location for a conference at Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort. Jones is very helpful and ready to help. Gave us a brief of the buganda kingdom, he graciously requested his driver to drop me at the resort on the first day. My friend came to see the place and loved it as well she took the spare room. I'd definitely recommend.
