No.5 Boutique Hotel

The inviting, albeit small, pool is poised for a cool dip, while the spa has a menu of pampering treatments to ease any safari-weary muscles. In true Ugandan fashion, the menus are quirky but delicious! Enjoy a Full No.5 for breakfast and later on, dishes that are a 'little lighter' like goats cheese and red onion on sourdough, 'somehow heavier' like battered bream, or the properly hearty oxtail ragu followed by maple syrup parfait. Eat in the artwork-filled dining room or on the terrace, where you can watch the sunset over a specialty gin.

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.

On a day out in Entebbe, browse the stunning Ugandan prints at local markets, stroll through the beautiful Botanical Gardens, or sip on a traditional Nile beer at a local pub. Set along one of the prettiest stretches of Lake Victoria, Entebbe is a top spot to enjoy a cruise (at dawn or drusk), fish for Nile Perch and enjoy an afternoon of birdwatching in the Mabamba Swamp. If you don't fancy much action, recline in the hotel's shaded garden or catch a favourite film on movie night.
