The House is close to everything, making it easy to plan your visit. It's a 10-minute drive from Entebbe Airport or 3 miles away. Find Kitooro Market, Supermarkets, and Local Restaurants within a 5-minute walk. Two Malls offer activities, restaurants CJ's, KFC etc. The House features a Large Compound, Hot Shower, Washing Machine, Unlimited Wi-Fi, Cooker, Microwave, Freezer & Backup Power. Easy Self & Staff Check-in options, plus a Remote Main Gate & Fully Wall-Fenced security. Enjoy your stay!

The property up for rent is a family run investment run by 3 brothers and two sisters all of whom are highly passionate and involved in the run and maintenance of it, with a percentage of the rent going towards assisting other family members in Ugandan. About myself, I'm Ugandan and I enjoy travelling. I currently work in London. Enjoy complete privacy during your stay, with the property entirely at your disposal. Our discreet caretaker will periodically visit to maintain the compound and tend to any exterior tasks. Additionally, they are available upon request to assist with interior cleaning, local shopping, or other needs. And, of course, I'm always just a phone call away to ensure a comfortable and hassle-free stay.

The area is quite peaceful with plenty of places to walk to. A less busy area compared to Kampala. The choices are plenty, from Taxis or special hire vehicles to boda bikes. Hailing apps to use range from Safeboda that includes cars to uber.
