No. 5 Boutique Hotel
Luxurious accommodation just ten minutes from Entebbe International Airport
Lounge, restaurant, bar, gym, spa, and swimming pool
Ten rooms and five double-storey self-catering apartments
Superb for stopovers, explore Entebbe, the Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre, Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, and Mabamba Bay Swamp
Lovely contemporary-style boutique hotel, offering a more upmarket alternative to Karibu. A bit expensive for an overnight stay, but really good standards and beautiful accommodations.
Activities
For many of our travellers, a stay at No. 5 will be a simple stopover before or after an international flight. Entebbe is the gateway town to the national parks of Bwindi Impenetrable, Queen Elizabeth, Rwenzori, Kibale, and Lake Mbura, as well as to Murchison Falls. However, if you have any spare hours, or you’re here for a longer stay, there are plenty of local attractions to enjoy.

Boat trips
-
Entebbe itself is full of shops, markets, and eateries! It’s also very close to Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake, which offers wildlife viewing and scenic cruises.
You could explore the botanical gardens too – these are home to the striking black-and-white colobus monkey and they host all sorts of events throughout the year.
The Uganda Wildlife Education Centre is well worth a visit, as is Ngamba Island’s Chimp Sanctuary and Mabamba Swamp.
Boat trips on the swamp are highly recommended for birdwatchers, as well as anyone seeking serene experiences during their stay here.
