Location: Near the center of Kampala

Rooms: 180 rooms for various configurations

Dining: Array of culinary options

Business Facilities: Expansive conference facilities

“Hotel Africana strikes me as a practical choice in Kampala, especially for larger events; the conference facilities clearly stand out. The proximity to the Uganda Museum and the golf course adds a leisure element that complements its business focus, though the 70's aesthetic might not appeal to everyone. For a guest looking to host or attend a conference, and wanting to be close to the main attractions, this could be a sensible option.”
