Sandton Hotel

Southwestern Uganda


Kasese's answer to the Sheraton is this immaculate hotel built around two courtyards. There are small, pleasant rooms and car rental. But best of all, the on-site Indian restaurant serves wonderful curries, tikka masala and fish in chilli sauce (mains USh14,000 to USh17,000). Access the restaurant via Rwenzori Rd, the parking area is on Kilembe Rd.
