About Latitude 0

Iconic 'Latitude', this is a vibrant and finely-tuned hotel overlooking Kampala.
Embedded in the greenery of Makindye Hill, Latitude 0° is quite the hospitality giant. Blending Ugandan aesthetics with a contemporary twist and all the mod cons, the hotel comes with a pool and private cinema. The artwork and textiles at Latitude 0° are the creations of local artisans, produced with recycled and sustainable materials, and with their one-of-a-kind motifs, you're never sure if you've stepped back in time into a 60s lounge or found yourself in a tropical bar filled with colourful murals. Complete with views overlooking bustling Kampala and the shimmering Lake Victoria, this is an ideal stop-over choice for an East African safari.

Activities

While Kampala is not a top choice for game viewing, there's still a lot to get up to while you're in town. To learn about the city's turbulent history, a visit to the Uganda Museum, Kasubi Tombs or Lubiri Palace is definitely worthwhile. Up the hill from central Kampala, there are a number of high-end restaurants to enjoy. Local markets like Nakasero Market or Owino are a fun choice as well. Exposure Africa is an especially popular spot in the heart of Kampala where you'll find all kinds of crafts and souvenirs.
