CELEBRATING 20 YEARS
T wenty years! Wow, it gives me great pleasure
to write the foreword for the 20-year edition
of the Uganda Hotel Owners’ Association (UHOA)
publication.
In May 2000, with no resources and only a dream, Dr
B.M Kibirige, the UHOA founding father gathered nine
hoteliers and together started they what is now known
as the UHOA. Through many highs and lows, UHOA
is now one of the most prominent associations in the
country as well as the biggest and most powerful
private sector association in Uganda’s tourism industry.
With over 520 members spread across the country,
UHOA has brought on board all accommodation facilities
in Uganda, from the big international 5-star hotels to the
small private B&B’s and all speaking a unified voice.
88PROUD
I am very proud of the UHOA that we are presenting to
you in this magazine; a strong and unified sector. The
tourism sector is now the biggest foreign exchange
earner for Uganda. Contributing 9% to the country’s
GDP, tourism is one of the backbones of Uganda’s
CHAIRLADY FOREWORD
As we celebrate our 20-year anniversary in 2020,
we are proud to note the following achievements:
• Increased membership to 520 member hotels
• Functional board of directors to manage the
association
• Fully fledged secretariat led by the CEO and a
vibrant team
• A strategic plan guiding the growth of the
association
• Recognition from government with a seat
on the Board of the Private Sector Foun-
dation, Uganda Tourism Board, Hotel &
Tourism Training School and the Presidential
Investors’ Roundtable.
• Partnership with development organisations
like ILO, Swiss Contact and Tourcert
• Strategic partnerships with the United States
Embassy in Uganda and the Netherlands
Embassy.
• Partnerships with government ministries
such as the Ministry of Tourism as well as
the Ministry of Labour to address the skills
development challenges in the hotel sector.

economy. The hospitality sector accounts for 90% of
all employment and this has made UHOA a force to
reckon with in Uganda.
It also gives me great pleasure to note that of the
3,800 hotels in Uganda, 95% are privately owned of
which 86% are Ugandan owned. It gives me great
honour to lead a sector that is driven by some of the
most patriotic ladies and gentlemen in Uganda.
8 BIG-NAME BRANDS
During the course of the years, we have also seen the
opening up of international big-name brand hotels in
Uganda, most notably the Hilton Hotel, Onomo Hotels,
Hilton Garden Inn, Marriot Hotels, Latitude Hotels, all
of which are members of UHOA. This comes with a lot
of benefits for our country in terms of tax collection
as well as employment of the youth. Also, this is an
endorsement of the international business commu-
nity and a sign of investor confidence that Uganda is
officially open for business.
We hope to work with both the government as well as
development partners to achieve this target.
I take the opportunity to thank all our members
who have been with us for the last 20 years for their
commitment to UHOA in making it the association
we are all proud of. I thank the government for its
recognition, which has empowered our association to
serve our members better. I thank the UHOA Board for
offering strategic guidance as we work towards giving
better service to our members and our country at
large. Lastly, I also thank our team at the secretariat,
led by our CEO, Jean Byamugisha for implementing
the board’s vision and running a secretariat that’s of
service to our members.
I now welcome you all to visit UHOA through the eyes
of our publication. Welcome world!

As the voice of the hotel sector, we plan to continue

our lobby and advocacy mandate to ensure a conducive
business environment for the hotels in Uganda. In ad-
dition to lobbying for a more friendly tax regime, we
also hope to lobby for a more inclusive environment
for women to flourish at the workplace, especially in
the managerial positions. We would like to see many
more women taking their seats in the boardrooms and
we have already set the pace by recruiting a female
CEO working under a female led board.

8 SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
UHOA will also continue to be at forefront for lobbying
for more skills development within the sector. We
want to encourage more talent development within the
hotel sector. We want to equip young people with the
skills and confidence to pursue their careers as they
develop their God-given talents to serve the sector.

WHAT’S IN STORE FOR

THE NEXT 20 YEARS?

Iam honoured to welcome you to the latest edition of

the official publication of the Uganda Hotel Owners’
Association. We are proud to present to the world this
magazine that’s a reflection of who we are at UHOA.
Founded 20 years ago, UHOA is now the principal voice
of the hotel sector in Uganda, as well as one of the
biggest and most recognised private sector associa-
tions in the country.
The year 2020 is going to be an amazing year for UHOA
as we celebrate our 20th birthday as well as many
firsts; case in point, as we celebrate this landmark year,
we also celebrate the fact that UHOA has a female team
at the helm of the association. For the first time in our
history, UHOA is led by its first ever female chairperson
as well as its first-ever female CEO.
58% of the total workforce in the hotel sector are
women, however fewer than 5% are in top manage-
ment positions. UHOA is setting the right example
to the rest of the industry by having an all-female
leadership at the helm of the association to lead it
into the next era of greatness, and the results have
been clear for all to see – female leaders can perform
as well as male leaders.
Tourism is Uganda’s biggest foreign exchange earner
and thus one of the key sectors spurring develop-
ment in the country. Tourism is also one of the biggest
employers in our economy. The hospitality industry
employs 90% of the entire workforce in the tourism
industry. Notable is that 77% of all hotel staff are
between the ages of 18-30 years and thus there is a
need to focus on youth development for the sustainable
growth of the industry.
88INDUSTRY TRENDS
UHOA is very cognisant of the dynamic nature of the
industry. We have to keep abreast with the industry
trends so as to offer technical guidance to the hotels
in Uganda. As we enter a new era, we also note that
the industry has changed and we must focus on the
following areas to make sure that the hotel industry
continues to grow:

access some of the best training packages for our
staff. We are also partnering with the Government
of Uganda through the Ministry of Labour to pilot an
apprenticeship programme – the first of its kind in
our industry – to try and address the skills gap in the
sector.

4. Women in tourism programme: UHOA intends to

champion the empowerment of women in the hotel
sector in Uganda. So far we have set the pace by
having women leadership both at the board level
and secretariat level. UHOA has also increased the
number of women as well as young people on the
board.

5. Branding and marketing: UHOA members are now

competing for the international market. To get ready,
we are currently undergoing grading and classifica-
tion of the hotels, training our staff in international
languages, particularly French, German and
Mandarin. UHOA has also partnered with the inter-
national community to send our delegations to key
signature events, for instance ITB, IBTM, WTM and
the hotel show in Chicago every year. We hope that

AFRICA’S PEARL SHINING

BRIGHTER THAN EVER

W ith stunning landscapes, an abundance of

wildlife and friendly locals, a trip to Uganda is
an opportunity not to be forgotten. This is evident with
tourism numbers on the rise every year and more and
more airlines serving the nation, including Uganda
Airlines – the nation’s flag carrier which resumed
operations in August 2019. When visitors arrive in
Uganda, they find they have never had more choice of
where to stay and what to do.
The East-African landlocked country is home to
some of the continent’s best-loved attractions,
including national parks such as Murchison Falls,
Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi Impenetrable, as well as
breath-taking waterfalls and the source of the White
Nile. Uganda has a profusion of plains game as well
as over 1,000 recorded species of birds. It’s also home
to Africa’s largest population of habituated mountain
gorillas.
However, Uganda isn’t just well-known for its nature
and wildlife – it also has a number of thriving cities.
Kampala, Uganda’s capital, boasts numerous histori-
cal buildings, and has a fantastic selection of hotels
to accommodate its many visitors. Those hotels listed
as five-star are the Kampala Serena, the Sheraton
Kampala and the Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort –
three of the best hotels in Africa.
Jinja on the other hand has fewer hotels but still plenty
of choice. The town is ideal for adrenaline junkies
as popular activities include white-water rafting and
bungee jumping. Hotels in the area are comparatively
modest in size and generally aimed at the mid-market
sector in this economically important area.
88ACCOMMODATION
Those venturing beyond the triangle of Kampala,
Entebbe and Jinja will have no trouble finding a variety
of comfortable and fair-priced accommodation. There
are new hotels, apartments and lodges opening
every year, while others have been refurbished and
improved.
National Parks such as Queen Elizabeth and
Murchison Falls have a limited number of camps and
lodges to accommodate visitors. At the other end of
the scale, thanks to the popularity of gorilla tours in
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, in the south-west,
there is no lack of camps and lodges in nearby places
such as Kabale and Kisoro.
Whatever accommodation type you choose, from
5-star luxury to budget hostel, visitors will receive a
warm welcome in Uganda.

88LAKESIDE TOWNS
Jinja and Entebbe are both lakeside towns located
either side of Kampala, offering their own unique
charm and historical character to the country. Entebbe
is home to the country’s international airport, and with
its peaceful atmosphere it is the ideal place to stop
over for a relaxing couple of days, either before or after
a flight. There is a wide range of hotels, from budget
accommodation to luxury properties.

88 INTRODUCTION
NATIONAL PARKS
UGANDA BOASTS VARIETY
OF STUNNING LOCATIONS
Uganda has many amazing national parks which are home to diverse species of wildlife and
birdlife. It’s no wonder that visitors flock from near and far to experience the places that helped
earn Uganda the title ‘Pearl of Africa’.
T he country is home to ten national parks, each
with its own unique draw, from mountain gorillas
in Bwindi to the extinct volcano Mount Elgon. The
rich diversity allows visitors to combine a variety of
experiences in a single trip, from classic game drive to
a close encounter with habituated gorilla groups.
88BWINDI IMPENETRABLE
Size: 321 sq km
Location: Southwest Uganda
Bwindi is home to a population of over 300 mountain
gorillas, including several habituated groups, which
can be tracked. This biologically diverse region is home
to a further 120 mammals including several primates
as well as elephant and antelope. There are about 350
bird species including 23 Albertine Rift endemics. Wide
choice of camps and lodges.
Aerolink Uganda offers both scheduled and charter
flights into Uganda’s national parks, including
Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls.

88KIBALE
Size: 766 sq km
Location: Western Uganda
Adjoining Queen Elizabeth National Park, this reserve
contains about 70 mammal species including 13 species

Rothschild’s giraffe. There is one lodge in the park as
well as a campsite.
88LAKE MBURO
Size: 260 sq km
Location: Southern Uganda
Lake Mburo, one of the country’s smallest parks,
contains a broad cross-section of plains game including
zebra, impala, eland, buffalo and hyena in addition to
leopard and hippo.
The varied landscape includes savannah, lakes,
swamps and hills, with opportunities for exciting game
drives with plenty of animal and bird sightings. There are
accommodation options in and around the park.
88MGAHINGA GORILLA NATIONAL PARK
Size: 34 sq km
Location: Southwest Uganda
Mgahinga, the second of two mountain gorilla reserves
in Uganda, is less well known than Bwindi Impenetrable
National Park but offers breath-taking landscapes in
a confined area. The park is home to the endangered
golden monkey. There is no shortage of lodges and guest-
houses within easy reach of the park.
88MOUNT ELGON
Size: 1,279 sq km
Location: Eastern Uganda
Close to the Kenyan border, the Ugandan section of
Mount Elgon National Park is close to the city of Mbale

Visitors to the park can hike to the volcano or spot some
of the park’s inhabitants on a game drive, including
elephant, buffalo and the near-threatened lammergeier
(bearded vulture). Accommodation is available at Sipi
Falls and Kapchorwa, in addition to a fair choice in
Mbale.
88MURCHISON FALLS
Size: 3,480 sq km
Location: Northwest Uganda
Murchison Falls is Uganda’s oldest and largest conservation area.
Located on the shore of Lake Albert, the name originates from a

nearby Kasese.
88SEMULIKI
Size: 220 sq km
Location: Western Uganda
Semuliki is one of Uganda’s newest national parks, established
in 1993. The park is a more of a Central African one than an East

of tropical lowland forest and home to countless bird species. A
lodge, guesthouses and camps can be found in the park, as well
as accommodation in nearby Fort Portal. Accommodation options
in and around the park.

88 MICE
MICE BUSINESS IS
NUMBER ONE TARGET
T he MICE sector (meetings, incentives, conferences
and exhibitions) is a vital and growing part of the
global travel and tourism industry. For many destina-
tions, MICE is now more valuable in pure monetary
terms that more mainstream types of tourism.
MICE visitor-spend per day is usually significantly
higher than regular leisure tourism. These visitors can
also obligingly fill hotel rooms at top-dollar rack rates
in otherwise low or shoulder seasons. And it’s good to
know that Uganda is particularly well placed to secure
its own slice of this lucrative business and, in many
cases, is already doing so.
More can be done, however, and the Uganda Hotel
Owners’ Association (UHOA) and the Uganda Tourism
Board (UTB) are both playing their part in encouraging
more MICE visitors to the Pearl of Africa – as, over
time, will the recently relaunched national carrier,
Uganda Airlines.
88MEETINGS & EXHIBITIONS
As it is, Uganda regularly hosts over 1,000 meetings
and exhibitions a year. It’s a remarkable figure, but
of these only a handful were categorised as ‘high
16 UGANDA HOTEL GUIDE 2020-21
2019-20
level’ by the International Congress & Convention
Association (ICCA).
So, more needs to be done to ensure that Uganda
competes head-on with the really big African players
in this important and still-developing sector. The con-
tinental leader is South Africa, which by contrast hosts
well over 100 of these ‘high level’ meetings each year.
88LOCATIONS
Naturally enough, Kampala, with its impressively high
hotel bed capacity, is easily Uganda’s most popular
location for meetings. Jinja is number two and much
favoured for those out-of-town retreats that are
booked mostly by locally based organisations such as
international charities and NGOs. Entebbe is a long
way back in third place, but is poised to gain from the
international airport’s growing number of airlines and
aircraft serving the gateway and the construction of a
new convention centre.
Unfortunately, as increasingly found elsewhere in the
region, Kampala still lacks a purpose-built, stand-
alone, internationally recognised convention centre
that is not linked directly to a hotel or a resort
However, the government does have plans for an
Entebbe Hotel and Convention Centre, to be located
close to the international airport, and the designs
for this proposed project were unveiled in 2018.
Once built, this is likely to be designated the nation’s
premier meetings venue and to be the preferred
choice for state-backed gatherings.
88SPEKE PROPERTIES
In any case, for the time being Kampala is blessed
with some truly outstanding facilities that are, in fact,
linked to a hotel complex – most notably the jointly
owned Speke Resort Munyonyo and the Munyonyo
Commonwealth Resort.
The twin-property resort has been hosting confer-
ences since 2001 and currently has three ballrooms,
19 indoor and six outdoor conference venues, making
this particularly property the premier conferencing
venue in Uganda. Its crowning moment came when it
hosed the prestigious 2007 Commonwealth Govern-
ment Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
88KEY MICE EVENTS
• The Nyege Festival
• MTN Marathon
• Kabaka Run Marathon
• UMA Trade Show
• KCCA Kampala Street Festival
• Rolex Festival
• Bayimba International Festival
• Blankets and Wine
But there are plenty of other top-quality hotel
and resort venues to choose from in and around
Kampala capable of hosting global-scale events.
They include the Kampala Serena Hotel, whose
Victoria and Garden auditoria can accommodate up
to 1,500 and 1,000 guests respectively, and its sister
property, the Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort &
Spa, which is similarly well equipped. The Sheraton
Kampala Hotel, too, with its 1,027 square metres of
conference space and meeting rooms, is an equally
compelling venue.
88HOTELS
Throughout Kampala (but also in Jinja and Entebbe)
the vast majority of hotels have conference, retreat
and meeting facilities for more locally themed events –
in fact, it’s a key revenue source for most properties.
So, whatever the size or type of meeting, Uganda
has the venue to meet just about every requirement
or type of event, all located in one of Africa’s most
delightful settings.

88 UGANDA’S CULTURE
AN INTRIGUING RANGE
OF CULTURAL DIVERSITY
Hector Conesa / Shutterstock.com
O riginally comprising four distinct kingdoms,
landscapes and peoples, Uganda is a highly
varied country with a multifaceted culture, age-old
traditions and distinct languages and dialects.
So today’s Uganda may look uniform to the first-time
visitor, but it is a patchwork of cultural influences
dating back before the nation’s period as a British
colony and its inclusion in the original post-colonial
East African Federation.
The nation is dominated by its main urban and indus-
trial centres of Kampala and Entebbe, but traditional
Uganda can still be found in more rural areas where
modernity has yet to penetrate too deeply.
Uganda is home to some 54 officially recognised
tribes. The largest, the Baganda, consists of almost
5.6 million people – around 16.5 per cent of the
national population – and is one of many ethnic
groups throughout Africa who speak a Bantu-related
language. The smallest tribe is the Mening, comprise
fewer than 3,000.
Because of this tribal variety, there is a wide range
of languages spoken in Uganda – 56 in total – and
18 UGANDA HOTEL GUIDE 2020-21
in four main groups (Bantu, central Sudanic, Nilotic
and Kuliak), of which the most common is Luganda
and as used by the Baganda. The country’s official
languages are English and Swahili. English is taught
in schools and is the language of business, while
Swahili is the lingua franca for much of eastern and
south-eastern Africa and is still used in the military
and the police.
88KINGDOMS
Uganda was divided into four kingdoms – Buganda,
Toro, Busoga and Bunyoro-Kitara – with customs
dating back many centuries. Each kingdom had its
own cultural practices and its own monarch. Today,
these monarchs are still revered and exert political
and cultural influence. In 2008 Rwenzururu became
the nation’s fifth kingdom.
In addition to its kingdoms, Uganda is divided into
four administrative provinces – Central, Western,
Eastern and Northern – which in turn comprise 111
districts. While the populations of these provinces
are similar, the divisions are not based on land area,
so the provinces vary considerably in size.

UHOA 20 YEARS ON
T he Uganda Hotel Owners’ Association (UHOA) is
20 years old in 2020. The Association has grown
from modest beginnings in 2000 when local hotelier
Dr B.M. Kibirige gathered together a handful of
fellow hospitality sector leaders to discuss plans
for the formation of a new hotel association to a
situation today where UHOA has over 500 active
members. What’s more, UHOA is now Uganda’s
leading private sector tourism organisation with
representation on many national committees and
invites to participate in key industry steering groups.
During those early days, the tourism sector had still
to fully recover from Uganda’s previous political and
economic difficulties that had negatively impacted the
country during the 1970s and 80s. It was also before
the hosting of the 2007 Commonwealth Heads of Gov-
ernment Meeting which proved the catalyst for a hotel
building boom that lasted for more than a decade and
continues, albeit at a slightly slower pace, to this day.
UHOA 2OTH ANNIVERSARY
As UHOA members, these new hotels have played a
key role in making tourism Uganda’s biggest foreign
exchange earner as well as providing secure jobs and
welcome job opportunity for many local people.
88RESPECTED
The Association, too, has grown to be become an
organisation highly respected by Government, interna-
tional tourism organisations and as a body providing
technical, training, investment, legal and marketing
assistance to its membership.
Such as been the progress and development of UHOA
over the last 20 years that it is now very much the
model for other nations and where the hotel sector is
looking to play a bigger part in encouraging inbound
tourism.

20 UGANDA HOTEL GUIDE 2020-21


FLY THE CRANE TO
THE PEARL OF AFRICA
T he year 2019 has seen Uganda
make great strides in the fields
of transportation and tourism.
It’s this very year that the ‘Pearl
of Africa’ launched its flagship
national passenger and cargo
carrier, Uganda Airlines. The
airline received its first two aircraft
on 23 April 2019 and started
operating commercial flights on 28
August 2019.
But the new airline doesn’t just stand
to make trips across borders; it exists
to represent the growing intercon-
nectivity between nations. More than
that, the airline exists to showcase
the beauty that lies in the people,
places and culture of its home,
Uganda, and the destinations that it
flies to.
Uganda Airlines is currently running
a marketing campaign, ‘let’s go’,
which urges everyone to fly the crane
to the destinations of Mombasa,
Mogadishu, Bujumbura, Nairobi, Dar
es Salaam, Juba and Kilimanjaro.
All these are places with celebrated
landmarks, cultures and tradi-
tions; from white sand beaches in
Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, to
the thriving business hub of Juba.
Uganda Airlines wants to be the
carrier that takes visitors to experi-
ence and discover the best of these
destinations.
Even more than experiencing the
beauty that lies in other destinations,
Uganda Airlines will fly travellers
to visit and experience the people,
places and culture that gave Uganda
the title, “The Pearl of Africa.”
88PEOPLE
Uganda has, on multiple occasions,
been named one of the world’s
friendliest countries. The people of
Uganda are known to be very vibrant,
sociable, entrepreneurial, warm and
welcoming. It’s the simple things, like
a cup of tea with a plate of roasted
UGANDA AIRLINES
nuts offered when you visit a home or
being called ‘boss’ or ‘manager’ while
haggling over at the market, that give
Uganda a great sense of hospitality.
88PLACES
Even at just 236,040 sq km, Uganda
is blessed with different types of
vegetation, from vast desert lands
to snowcapped mountains to lush
forests. With over 10 beautiful game
parks being home to wildlife like
the majestic elephant to the elusive
gorilla, waterfalls, the source of the
Nile and a large variety of birds, the
Pearl of Africa has gained attention as
a top tourist destination.
88CULTURE
What makes Uganda unique is its
large variety of local cultures, with
up to 54 tribes.  Each culture bears
a novelty to it; in language, dance,
dress and food, but all cultures are
celebrated with great vigor.

CAPITAL BOASTS
A VARIETY OF
TOP HOTELS
U
ganda’s capital now boasts a better-than-ever
choice of accommodation. The huge increase in
Kampala’s hotel sector dates back to the 2008 Com-
monwealth Heads of Government Meeting, which
called for the need of top hotels to accommodate
heads of state and their delegations. Additionally, the
fast-growing Ugandan economy has, of course, been a
further factor.
As a direct result, Kampala has become a key confer-
ence and meetings destination, competing for top
continent-wide events. Before this, visitors to the
capital had a limited choice of accommodation and
space was always at a premium. Almost overnight,
this problem was eliminated – so much so that for a
period after that Kampala had an overcapacity. This did
not stop new hotels being built, however, while others
continued to be upgraded or refurbished.
88PROPERTIES
Visitors will find a good selection of quality properties
in Kampala, with choices to suit different budgets and
more options available in various parts of the city.
Fierce competition among hotels has also generated
higher levels of service and greater attention to detail.
This is welcome news for visitors, who can depend on
UHOA-rated properties to offer peace of mind.

UP-AND-COMING
DESTINATION
T he northern region of Uganda is by far
the most remote, and the least visited by
tourists. As a result, most of the area is fairly
undeveloped in terms of tourism, but this sit-
uation is changing with the dramatic improve-
ment in the region’s road network and the
opening of new hotels. However, despite this,
there are now 36 UHOA members located in
northern Uganda, with concentrations in the
main town of Gulu and Lira.
The Murchison Falls Conservation Area
(MFCA) comprises the Murchison Falls
National Park (Uganda’s largest) as well
as the Bugungu and Karuma Falls Wildlife
Reserves and is popular with visitors. The
area is within easy reach of Kampala and has
a range of places to stay: Paraa Safari Lodge,
Sambiya River Lodge and Nile Safari Lodge.
There is also a rest camp within the park for
budget-conscious travellers.
