We have a sneaky suspicion that you're dreaming of a trip to Uganda to see the famous gorillas. However, if you happen to be stopping over in Entebbe, Hotel No.5 is a pretty and petite hotel that will see to all your pre- or post-safari needs. In a garden of palms and well-pruned shrubs, the hotel, with its smattering of rooms and apartments, provides a peaceful spot to sit beside the pool and soothe travel-weary feet. If you're in town for long enough, grab one of the hotel's bikes and cycle round Entebbe's markets, or prepare for hardier safari outings with a sunset cruise on Lake Victoria.
There are a range of accommodation types, all with a large beds, salmon-pink chaise lounges, and plenty of patterned cushions. The luxury rooms have double or twin beds, whilst luxury duplex apartments have a ground-floor sitting room and open-plan kitchenette. There are also five Residences, which are stand-alone villas with a dedicated team, ample lounge areas (with fireplaces!), and a bright kitchen and dining room. The en-suites are spacious and across the board, you'll find flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee facilities and Wi-Fi.
The quiet and very private feel, while knowing the beaches and busy markets of Entebbe aren't far away.
If you make your stay a little longer than a stop-over, you'll have to chance to boat out to see the chattering primates at Ngamba Island Chimp Sanctuary.
The hotel isn't close enough to Lake Victoria to enjoy any waterfront views from your window.
