My moving to Kampala! by eduardo001
Hello guys. My name is Edin! I am from Croatia but in last 3 years i have lived in Serbia, Bosnia and Hungary. Now looking to move in Kampala next month or in August because my dream is volunteering in Africa. I am searching this forum to see ...
Hello Edin, It is possible to find a room for the equivalent of $200 (this is roughly 500,000/=), but the cost of living is quite high here in Kampala. A colleague has just recently been trying to live on $2 per day to see how people survive. She ... Read More
Fairway Hotel.....any opinions? by englishmanintoronto
Hi all, I am trying to research the 'best value for money' 3-star or up hotel in Kampala for a group of 8-12 of us to stay in for a week. The reviews of the Fairway I can find on-line seem OK, and the prices (US$95 - US$106 per night) seem really ...
Forgot to mention - the best thing about the Fairway is that its walking distance to Garden City & Oasis - cinemas/bowling/foodcourt/restaurants etc etc. Handy when new to town Read More

It was a bit old fashioned, but at the time was clean - but I was told it was refurbished a couple of years ago. We tend to put work visitors in a little guesthouse in Muyenga called Orchidea- not central though - its a matatu ride to town centre ... Read More

Hello EnglishmaninToronto, Friends of ours stayed in the Golf View Apartments and liked it. I think its self catering though. Its certainly central, but I have no idea of cost. It is quite expensive staying in Kampala - so Fairway may be the best ... Read More

Dear Ernest, I couldn't help a chuckle at the suggestion I take the kid to see how people scramble for water and suffer. How would you feel being a rich kid's 'object lesson'. He sees that in the village and knows how heavy water is. What he ... Read More
Is it safe in Kampala by siddique_d
Hi all, Good day to you. I am Siddique, 43 year old Indian, married. I have a 6 Year old daughter. I am just wondering if I get an offer from an Ugandan Company, should I take it up? Is it safe to live in Kampala with family? Do I have to worry ...
Gosh, sorry Deboro, sounds like you have had a really rough ride. It is certainly true that you need a level of caution, but having lived here for nearly 11 years, I've not encountered much reason for constant anxiety. My father has visited Uganda ... Read More
