Here are a few close-by getaways perfect for a weekend reset:
- Entebbe – Lakeside Serenity
Unwind by Lake Victoria’s calm shores only an hour away. Visit the Botanical Gardens, enjoy a sunset at the waterfront, or take a quiet stroll along the beaches. Ideal for solo travellers or couples needing a slow day.
- Mabira Forest – Nature’s Therapy
Lose yourself in one of Uganda’s last remaining tropical rainforests. Take a guided nature walk, go zip-lining, or simply breathe in the scent of the trees. Mabira is your closest dose of true wilderness.
- Jinja – The Adventure Capital
For the spirited traveller. Experience white-water rafting, bungee jumping, or a sunset boat cruise at the Source of the Nile. Jinja perfectly blends thrill and tranquillity.
- Sezibwa Falls – A Hidden Cultural Gem
A short drive east reveals cascading falls, local legends, and a peaceful picnic spot surrounded by rock formations. It’s quiet, meaningful, and a bit magical.
A Note from Us
Your time in Kampala doesn’t have to be confined to the city streets. Some of Uganda’s most refreshing escapes are just a short trip away, close enough to explore, yet far enough to feel like a world of their own.
At The Hidden Village Resort, you can spend the morning wandering through nature or enjoying a peaceful streamside view, and still be back in time for dinner, a drink, or a quiet evening at the hotel. Here, adventure and comfort go hand in hand, all within reach.
