If you book a package with a tour operator for Uganda this will include accomodation. Which is suitable to your itinerary and meets your travel budget.

However, if you are an experienced traveller and like to undertake an individual tour, here you might get some inspirations where to stay.

Accommodations in Uganda range widely in quality from five-star hotels and first-rate luxury lodges to basic bush camps, guesthouses, and campsites.

It is of diverse quality throughout the countryside, frequently lacking running water and power. Except for the smaller guesthouses, where local Ugandan Shilling must be paid, travelers must pay in US dollars. It is important to bring some cash when traveling because not all small-town hotels are set up to accept credit cards or travelers’ checks.

How do I select the right accomodation ?

One of the most exciting things to do is to plan a vacation to Uganda. Getting suitable lodging is a crucial part of any safari. Besides it is one of the most significant aspects to take into account for a fruitful road trip. You’ll need a comfortable location to lay your head down after your safari day is through. Even if selecting the best lodging is difficult. You will need to look through a list of different lodges and camps to discover the greatest lodging that will work for your safari.

You must select lodging that is near or located at the safari destination you are visiting. By cutting down on travel time from your resort to the sites you want to see or enjoy, you can get caught up with your following safari day’s activities. On the other hand, when you reserve lodging close to the city or town, you have the chance to take use of both the essential travel conveniences and the city’s nightlife. Since the hotel you have reserved is close to the main city or town, you can also decide to partake in entertainment.

Which accommodations you select will depend on your preferences for safari activities. Some tourists like to reserve a delectable complimentary breakfast and room amenities. On the other hand , an airport transfer service facility might be more important to you. Choose a hotel that welcomes children and is family-friendly if you are traveling with your family. This will ensure that you and your family have a comfortable and enjoyable visit. Other necessities for individuals include having access to Wi-Fi and a pool, among other things.
