Located in Entebbe, directly on the shore of Lake Victoria, Protea Hotel lies just six kilometres from the airport, so it's the ideal place to start or end your visit to this lovely country. Once the scene of great drama, Entebbe is now a pretty and peaceful contrast to the surge and heave of humanity in the capital, Kampala. The tranquil atmosphere extends to the hotel, where the service is streamlined, the accommodation is modern and comfortable and the food is very good.




Stretching out to face both the lake and the airport are 73 contemporary en-suite rooms of varying sizes, each with tiled floors, large and deep beds with cream and mahogany-red linens, and free wi-fi. The standard and deluxe rooms have all the amenities you'd expect from an upper-standard hotel, and the 12 executive suites have added lounge areas and an outdoor balcony. For the best lake views, ask for an upper floor room.
The hotel is literally a few steps away from the shore of Lake Victoria, making for tranquil views from your private balcony, poolside lounger, or the small beach.
Just 6 kilometres from the airport, the hotel is highly convenient for early or late flights - and don't pass up a post-flight massage!
Lake flies are inescapable here, so make sure you are armed with insect repellent when heading outdoors.
