Vacation rentals with lake access in Uganda

We came with three kids and were a bit nervous about being off the beaten path — but this place turned out to be a gem. The garden is like a wonderland, the house is well-equipped (we cooked pancakes in the morning!), and everyone — especially Arali and Brenda the caretakers — made sure we were safe and comfortable. The rooms are charmingly rustic, though you should know that there’s no hot water on demand. You can ask for it to be heated, but we actually ended up enjoying the cool morning rinse — it woke us up better than coffee. :) There’s currently no direct way to reach the lake, which was a small letdown for our kids. But with all the other experiences — the theatre night with Rayka, the drumming, the monkeys — they didn’t even remember this by the end! Its a very unique place - go check it out!

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.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house! The location is fantastic, with a stunning view of the Nile. The staff from Sole Hope were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. The house itself was absolutely charming and very spacious — ideal for our family with three teenagers. We truly enjoyed our time there and would love to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Khadija’s oasis of comfort! The accommodation is very easy to reach from the city center and offers direct shopping options, as well as a safe environment. We really enjoyed our time there – the small pool was definitely a highlight! Everything was exactly as described, and Khadija was an excellent host. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this place. Thank you for the amazing time!

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 )

Thank you very much, Edith, for being a good host, starting with booking to check in, Everything was perfect and well coordinated. We really enjoyed the beautiful scenery and great customer service. I can't wait to come back!!

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.

Enjoyed my stay

The place is great and Paul is a wonderful host.

I am a frequent world traveller and this has been one of my best ABnB experiences. The apartment is stylish and well situated in a safe, peaceful and beautiful area, ideal for business or tourism. Harriet and her daughter Rachel give you the privacy you need but are also helpful and responsive when you need them to be. I will definitely stay here again.

Foster's apartment exceeded expectations, it looked even better than in the pictures! It was spacious, clean, and tidy, with great views. Plus, the amenities were fantastic, including a swimming pool, a gym, and ample parking. The peaceful atmosphere made the stay even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be returning!

I had a wonderful stay at Daniel's accommodation and would gladly rate it 5 stars. The location is convenient, just 3.3 km (10 minutes) from Victoria Mall, with groceries and essentials nearby. The Case Med Care hospital on the ground floor offers 24/7 food and laundry services, a fantastic convenience. The rooms are comfortable, though adding bedside tables and an extra chair would enhance functionality. The second room lacks an attached bathroom, and the common bathroom needs a push shower for hygiene, better hand shower flow, and improved drainage as water tends to clog after showers. Renovating the flooring for proper water discharge would be ideal. Safety could be improved by adding locks to the sliding windows and securing the store room with a door and lock system. A speaker with the television would elevate the guest experience. Daniel’s hospitality is exceptional, making the stay welcoming and pleasant. Despite minor improvements, I’d gladly stay here again and recommend it

I really enjoyed my stay in the beautiful apartment. It is indeed a home away from home in a quiet, peaceful and very secure neighbourhood. The setup offers space to either relax and unwind or conduct office related work without distractions. And the security guard is they’re always helping full time. It is extremely clean with state of the art furniture and bed linens, as well as other amenities required for your comfort. It is free of clutter and is indeed a great value for money. Eric is also a very responsive and productive host and I highly recommend his place to the Airbnb family seeking a quiet haven to rest.

Very good stay All ammunities near,ideal apt.

We had a really nice stay in Adam's house, the place is so peaceful and nice.

Naboth was a great host, made sure I was comfortable and provided quick responses to all my questions. Got me another place right by the lake as his was being renovated and made sure everything went perfect every single day. Highly recommended to other travellers

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

We had a wonderful stay at Hornbill Camp! The property is absolutely beautiful and the "cottage" was honestly way bigger and more beautiful than we expected. It is tastefully decorated with gorgeous high ceilings! We enjoyed exploring the area with a nice walking path behind the property. The host/care taker was super responsive and helpful and made us a lovely campfire on the beach. We would love to be back for another stay!

We enjoyed our stay at Geoffrey’s home. The compound is beautiful and provided a wonderful place for our children to play. The caretaker, John, was extremely helpful and provided us directions to the property. Of note, a larger vehicle is likely needed in order to get to this property as some of the roads are a bit tough to navigate. The home was clean, decorated nicely, and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We would absolutely stay here again if we are passing through the area. Thanks for the hospitality!

Ayele was such a great host, her place is just fantastic in all ways, quiet, peaceful, every one was helpful, everything you need was available,I relaxed ,enjoyed the lake views, felt right at home, I'd definitely go back for a longer stay. Thanks Ayele
