3Drive to make top destination even better

Welcome to the latest edition of the UHOA Uganda Hotel Guide as Uganda celebrates 50 years of independence.

The Uganda Hotel Owners Association (UHOA) is a trade and lobbying organisation that includes almost all of the nations hotels, lodges and camps among its members.

UHOA sets high standards for its members and those included within this publication can all be recom-mended by our Association, from Kampalas finest five-star property to a more modest guesthouse far away from the capital.

expAnsiOn

Uganda has witnessed a vast expansion of its hotel sector and this growth continues at a slower rate in Kampala than in the recent past, but just as energetically outside the city as capacity grows to meet demand.

Lonely Planet has rated Uganda the worlds top must-see destination for 2012. I am sure this assessment is correct and we, as an industry association, are working hard to live up to Lonely Planets star billing.

Its easy to see why Uganda is so highly thought of. We have some of Africas best and most varied wildlife parks and certain strengths in terms of our attractions and activities especially our range of primates, our incredible bird species and the continued popularity of adrenalin sports centred on the town of Jinja.

We still need to do more in regard to promoting Uganda and to giving visitors more reasons than ever to come and enjoy our country, the Pearl of Africa; but rest assured that UHOA, along with the Uganda Tourist Board (UTB), will be at the forefront of this drive.

4A must-visit destination of wonder and beauty

Lonely planet has rated Uganda the worlds must-visit destination. Those already familiar with Uganda will no doubt concur with the wisdom of this rating, while those who have not yet been to the pearl of Africa may well be persuaded by the Lonely planets description.

What they will find is an increasingly self-confident nation that is celebrating its 50th anniversary of inde-pendence. It is also a nation with a buoyant economy, an improving infrastructure and a tourism sector that continues to go from strength to strength as Ugandas national parks, spectacular waterfalls and unbeatable biodiversity become better known and more imagina-tively packaged.

Uganda has not always been at the top of everyones visit list as neighbouring countries with much bigger tourism marketing budgets have stolen the show. This is changing, however, as the uniqueness and sheer variety of the destination become more and more apparent.

Like most African cities, Kampala is no beauty spot. But its a pleasant enough place with an agreeable climate and the city is comparatively clean and trouble-free, if a bit congested at times. Kampala has a number of spectacularly good five-star properties at one end of the spectrum as well as a selection of smartly run busi-ness hotels and a whole bunch of reasonably priced places to stay.

sUCCess

Kampalas success is due mainly to its role as a business and conference centre. But the city is also a major base for NGOs, charities and other similar agencies working to improve the everyday life of ordinary Ugandans. These organisations all seem to run seminars and workshops for local people. Most of these events are held in the citys hotels, providing a sizeable slice of their income.

The nations capital has been experiencing a huge boom in hotel construction with still more new

inTrOdUCTiOn

5properties in the pipeline, although the pace of hotel openings has slowed in the past couple of years. Many of these properties are independently owned and run, providing a mixed bag in terms of quality and service.

Kampala has an 18-hole golf course right in the middle of town and a reasonably good selection of restau-rants, although there is still some room for improve-ment here. The nightlife of Kampala is the envy of East Africa and, whats more, Ugandan beer is generally agreed to be the best in Africa.

pOWerHOUse

Beyond Kampala, and in opposite directions, there are the two lakeside towns of Jinja and Entebbe. Jinja was once Ugandas industrial powerhouse, but today it is more of a centre for adventure tourism, while Entebbe provides most visitors with their first glimpse of Uganda after arriving at the international airport.

Other towns of note include Fort Portal (close to the Rwenzoris), Mbarara and Mbale, where visitors will find accommodation of reasonable quality. But the real beauty of Uganda is to be found in its landscape and national parks, of which there are 10 in total.

Out in the national parks there is still work to be done in providing more upmarket and intimate camps and high-quality lodges of the kind which are so popular elsewhere in East Africa and which command top-

dollar rates from well heeled visitors.

Even where Uganda does score in providing a near-unique African product, such as in gorilla trekking and hill walking, the poten-tial has yet to be fully exploited. Many will find this an attraction.

So, despite the swift rise in the number of hotels and other types of accommodation, there

is still much to be done especially outside Kampala, Entebbe and Jinja to ensure that Uganda matches the quality on offer elsewhere. But at least the country is moving in the right direction. In the past, owing to a long and unpleasant period, Uganda was held back in its development as a tourism destination. One thing is certain, however: Uganda is catching up fast.

6Huge diversity of national parks is major bonusUganda has 10 national parks. But its the sheer variety of these parks that sets Uganda apart from other destinations across east Africa.

Uganda does have traditional open savanna parks with elephants, giraffes and big cats. More than that, however, it also has smaller wildlife areas inhabited by highly diverse, and sometimes endemic, species of flora and fauna; enjoying highly varied climates and at different altitudes. For example, Uganda is home to 13 of the worlds primates, including half of all mountain gorillas and large populations of chimpanzees.

On the debit side and this is something that needs to be pointed out Uganda came through two decades or more of civil war and unrest that left many of its national parks badly affected by conflict.

Thankfully, those days are now in the past and Ugandas national parks are thriving once again. Some may not have returned fully to their past glory, but

nATiOnAL pArks

7they are well on their way to recovery and the Uganda Wild-life Authority (UWA) must be commended on its good work in this regard. UWA has also been supported by external agencies that have recognised the significance of Ugandas wildlife areas and the unique role many of them play in world biodiversity.

As a birdwatching destination, Uganda is probably unrivalled anywhere, with an astonishing 1,000 or so bird species, some of which are endemic. In fact, many visitors come to Uganda just for the birdwatching. It really is that good.

Apart from the primate-dominated parks in the west of the country, there has been little in the way of sustained tourism development in the parks owing to past events. This has resulted in some major parks having, perhaps, just one lodge inside the gates and relatively few visitors compared with Ugandas near neighbours.

HeriTAGe siTe

One of the best known of Ugandas national parks, and certainly the most memorably named, is Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a Unesco World Heritage Site. Covering only 331 sq km, Bwindi is the best place to see the critically endangered mountain gorilla. Gorillas can also be viewed in Mgahinga National Park.

Kibale National Park is a forested area for higher primates, with 13 available to see including chimpan-zees.

Ugandas other natural Unesco World Heritage Site, the Rwenzori Mountains National Park, offers an altogether different experience, with high mountain passes and unique examples of flora. The Rwenzoris also provide one of Africas truly great hiking experiences.

While Semuliki National Park, in the remote west beyond the Rwenzoris is the furthest extent of the

forest that stretches across the Congo Basin and is famed as the home of the Batwa people.

The pick of Ugandas open savanna areas are the 3,840 sq km Murchison Falls (Ugandas largest) and the 1,978 sq km Queen Elizabeth National Park as well as the much smaller Lake Mburo National Park. Both of the bigger parks provide a wide choice of accommodation and growing numbers of plains game and are within easy reach of Kampala.

Offering a complete change of landscape and environ-ment and located in the extreme east is Mount Elgon Nation Park. Dominated by Mount Elgon, which has the largest volcanic base in the world, the park has its own collection of animals at lower levels, while at higher alti-tudes there are exotic flora and an opportunity for visitors to climb to the caldera, 3,000 metres above sea level.

Perhaps the least visited and most inaccessible is the 1,442 sq km Kidepo Valley National Park in the far north, close to Kenyas Turkana District and straddling the border with South Sudan. The remoteness and untamed wilderness of Kidepo has been its salvation and the park emerged largely unscathed from Ugan-das troubles. For many, the 700 km trip from Kampala is worth the journey as there are 77 different mammals and about 475 birds to see.

With 10 very different parks from which to choose, Uganda presents a truly varied destination one that keeps visitors coming back time after time.

9Jinja water sports: a new definition of fun

Uganda is without doubt east Africas top destina-tion for fun-filled adrenalin sports. And Jinja is the base for those seeking to add thrills and spills to their otherwise leisurely trip to Uganda.

The top sport is white water rafting, which has been around since the mid 1990s, and today there are several companies offering trips on the fast-flowing stretches of the River Nile below Jinja. There is rafting and then, for the really adventurous, there is extreme rafting, offering a chance to shoot the truly ferocious Grade Five rapids using smaller-than-usual rafts and with passengers certain to spend time in the water. This activity can be combined with river surfing.

dAm prOJeCT

The submerging of the Bujagali Falls, as a new dam project takes shape, has had some impact on rafting, but just means that trips now start from a location further downstream from the centre of Jinja. The fun and excitement remain just as intense and the dangers are undiminished.

Bungee jumping is equally popular, but instead of leaping from a high bridge across a river, the jumpers use a specially built platform 44 metres above and out into the River Nile. This platform is located next to the Jinja Nile Resort.

A less dangerous but no less exhilarating means of seeing the Nile is by 450 hp, 12-seater jet boat. Again, these boats operate from bases in the Jinja area. This particular wind-in-the-hair fun ride is open to passengers of all ages (well, from five upwards) and costs about $75.

pArAGLidinG

Newly added to these daredevil sports is tandem paragliding from Mount Wanale in Eastern Province. Paragliding as a commercial activity began in mid 2012, providing a fresh challenge for those looking to enjoy as many of these white-knuckle sports as can be crammed into a visit to Uganda.

Air is ideal, but safari bus option works wellGetting to Ugandas game parks from entebbe or kampala can sometimes be a long and arduous road journey. On the plus side, it is a great way to view the always-green countryside and to see something of everyday local life.

Most tour operators will prearrange overland transport and, for guests intending to visit more than one park, this option makes a lot of sense. Tourists can stick with one vehicle and one driver for the duration of their visit. Some hotels in places such as Mbarara even specialise in providing stopover accommodation for visitors on their way to the national parks.

CHArTer OnLy

For those flying in to Entebbe and wishing to make just one short trip for example, to Bwindi a tour vehicle may not be the most suitable option. And that is where Ugandas air charter sector comes into its own.

As Uganda has become an ever more sophisticated destination in terms of tourism services, flying has become a better if more expensive choice. Unfortunately, some improvements are still needed if Uganda is to match the level of domestic air serv-ices offered by its neighbours. For example, there are almost no connecting domestic flights from Entebbe International Airport.

From Kajjansi Airfield, between Kampala and Entebbe, and from the International Airport, it is possible to fly to Murchison Falls National Park (Pakuba airstrip) and to Queen Elizabeth National National Park (Mweya airstrip) as well as to more difficult-to-reach spots such as Bwindi (Ishasha), Mgahinga (Kisoro), Rwenzori (Kasese), Semliki and Kidepo Valley (Apoka). But flights to these destinations are generally on a charter-only basis and are not available as scheduled services.

In fact, and for such a large country, scheduled domestic air services are relatively few and far between. Eagle Air, for example, operates a regular flight from Entebbe to Arua on most days, but all its other destinations are daily on request, with Pakuba airstrip being offered only as a diversion stop on the Arua service.

BUs serviCes

For the more adventurous, there are buses, 14-seat matatus (for longer journeys) and boda bodas (for short trips in and around town). Good bus services operate from Kampala to many of Ugandas main towns and also to international destinations such as Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. All three modes are not without their dangers as their safety record leaves something to be desired.

Sadly, and despite the splendid railway station in Kampala and a reported 1,266 km of track, there are no passenger train services in Uganda.

Better-than-ever choice in booming capitalrarely has a city been transformed so quickly. Just a few years ago, the choice of where to stay in kampala was rather limited.

Maybe this was a hangover from Ugandas dark days of the 1970s and 1980s and the fact that it took a while for the Ugandan economy to make a full recovery. But a full recovery is exactly what happened, as previously exiled business people returned to Kampala with money to invest.

A changing point came with the 2007 Common-wealth Heads of Government Meeting. This acted as the catalyst for an unprecedented boom in hotel construction, fuelled by generous subsidies, that has

only just begun to slow. That meeting also gave an emphatic signal that Uganda had fully returned to the Commonwealth fold and informed the world that Uganda was open for business.

Yet, despite the additional bed capacity brought by the construction boom, there are still times when finding a room in Kampala can be difficult. The city is now regarded as a major venue for regional, conti-nental and even global conferences and it can be a problem if your visit to Kampala coincides with one of these events. From the point of view of the city and its hoteliers, of course, its a nice problem to have.

GrOWinG eCOnOmy

In addition, the Ugandan economy continues to grow at a rate that most developed nations would envy as business visitors flock to the nations capital. And, with the discovery of oil, rooms have become a little harder to find and hotel rates have also reflected this situation.

More hotels are due to be opened, with each hotel company hoping to carve a niche and eager to differ-entiate itself in a crowded market. This applies espe-cially to locally owned, mid-market properties built by wealthy investors entering the sector for the first time.

Kampala has an impressive range of properties, from internationally recognised five-star brands at the top

end of the scale to homely, price-conscious, family-run guesthouses at the other. In between, there is a range of properties including good quality business hotels, secret hideaways, classy boutique establishments and those run by organisations such as churches.

sprinGBOArd

At the same time, some well known brands that started life in Kampala have used the city as a spring-board to set up similar, but mostly smaller, hotels in other towns such as Entebbe and Mbale.

Hotel construction has not been focused on any one particular area although there is clearly a concentra-tion of good quality properties close to the Uganda Golf Club and around Kololo. Therefore, visitors can pick the location that exactly suits their needs and will probably have a choice of two or three hotels once they have done so.

So Kampala has come of age at a time when prospects for Uganda as a nation have rarely been brighter.
