Cassia Lodge

A rare patch of tranquillity with spellbinding views of Lake Victoria and hills that seem to never end. The simple yet tasteful rooms face the lake with balconies and patios. There’s a good stock of books on Uganda for sale. Day trippers (entry USh10,000) can use the small but pleasant pool. It’s a long way from central Kampala, signposted 2.3km off Ggaba Rd.
