Makindye Country Club  

Perched on sleepy Makindye Hill in Kampala, Makindye Country Club sits in lovely gardens a short drive from St. Francis Hospital - Nsambya, the U.S. Embassy, Kabaka's Palace and Wonder World Amusement Park—about 4 km from the city center and roughly 39 km from Entebbe Intl. Airport. The property markets itself as a family-friendly club-style lodge with easy access to Kampala sights.

This small, family-orientated property has just 8 air-conditioned guestrooms with desks, safes and cable/digital entertainment. Bathrooms feature rainfall showerheads and complimentary toiletries. Expect clubhouse vibes, garden views and simple, sport-and-leisure focused décor.

Dip in an outdoor pool, hit the outdoor tennis courts or keep fit in the gym and yoga area. There’s a massage room, library, ping-pong space, picnic and barbecue areas, plus tour/ticket assistance and concierge services. Free Wi-Fi is available on the property and there’s onsite self-parking and an airport shuttle for a surcharge.

A business center, 24-hour front desk and laundry/dry-cleaning services make stays smooth. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected while parked on site.

Makindye Country Club serves club-style meals at its restaurant and bar, with room service during limited hours. A complimentary continental breakfast is offered daily (typically 7 AM–11 AM), and a shared kitchen is available for guests who want to cook.
