The Mbuya Residence is a cosy and elegant home perfect for groups and families. You’ll enjoy absolute comfort and privacy in this modern accommodation with a chic African touch at a steal of a price! It is located on the suburban-Mbuya hill in Kampala city only 50m off Kireka road. You are only: • 3 mins from the nearest swimming pool • 5 - 10 mins from Bugolobi (hotels, bars, and restaurants) • 10 mins from Village Mall Bugolobi • 15 - 20 mins from Kampala’s CBD • 1 Hour from Entebbe Airport
Hello! We (Bruno and Jessica Musiimenta), enjoy hosting in Kampala's lively city and have designed this relaxing haven to suit your comfort needs. We have grown up and live in Uganda making us the perfect choice to provide a special experience during your stay in Uganda. We work hard to make our guests’ stays as wonderfully memorable as possible!
Mostly a residential area that is close to the city centre and has easy access to restaurants, bars and supermarkets. It is also quite safe all day and night as we have a police station 200m from the house along Kireka main road. You will need a car to move around or hire public transportation like taxis or motorcycles to move around. Fortunately, everything you need is within a 10-minute drive. Free parking on the premises.
