There's no place like my home! Come stay at this spacious 5000 square meter penthouse-style apartment with unrivalled views over the lake, TVs in every room (with an HDMI cable & even Google Chromecast devices), free WiFi, a full-time caretaker, a cook (she can cook Continental & Indian cuisine), laundry services & good security. The bedrooms are - frankly - insanely large, bright and modern. The attached en suites are modern, clean and come with beautiful fixtures, 24/7 hot water and a rainfall shower too.
I live alone in this 4-bedroom luxury condominium that isn't too far from town either. Spend time on the massive balcony overlooking the lake & if you need a break, the pool will be perfect for you. Please scroll through the pictures to get an idea of how luxurious and spacious this property is... You'll love it!

About the Area
This is the one of the few places in Kampala where you won't hear music from a nightclub or clarion calls from the nearby church or mosque. Located on the shores of Lake Victoria, the house is only 9.4 kilometers from the Parliament of Uganda, and is serviced by Uber. This upscale neighborhood has residences of various ministers, members of parliament and even the daughter of the President of Uganda.

House Rules
The entire home is yours to explore and enjoy (barring my own bedroom), and I sincerely hope you have a great time.
A standard continental home-breakfast comes on the house. The maid is very good with Indian & Continental food. While breakfast is free, we can provide you with lunch & dinner at a nominal fee (we'll provide a chart for you to keep track). But if you'd like to buy your own stuff and cook your own meal, you're free to do so - no charge for using the kitchen equipment or utensils. A cooking range, gas oven & microwave is available in the spacious kitchen. The maid will help you with any condiments or preparations you may need.
The houseboy will change your sheets twice a week, and will clean your room & bathroom every day. They'll also do your laundry & ironing for a small fee. We'll provide a chart so you can keep track.
A cooler is available at no cost should you wish to pack some food and beverage to take on a trip across Uganda - just ask.
You'll truly feel like you have the entire home to yourself, since I keep guest interaction to the barest minimum - but don't let that stop you from reaching out to me if you ever need anything! You'll find me sincere and open-minded (no restrictions based on race, religion, sexual orientation or political views).
The caretaker stays full-time on the property, while the maid is available from 8am to 6pm from Monday to Saturday.
I'll be happy to share my opinions/feedback on the best watering-holes, bars, clubs, restaurants & sights in Uganda... and if you're really nice, I just might invite you to a night at one of Kampala's hottest nightclubs! :)
The money you pay to stay in my home goes to a community outreach program I run through a charity gym for Uganda's underprivileged called 'The University of Pain' (look for us online!).
In my regular job, I work with an IT/BPO firm. Through my charity, I work with prisoners & underprivileged youth. We use sports as medium to reach out and improve their lives. I also support other local gyms, upcoming athletes, and I even put some great kids through college. Every dollar of yours is going to a cause I love & cherish.
Do remember, you only need to pay for the extras (lunch, dinner, laundry, etc.) when you're leaving. The staff will make a record of the charges, if any, and validate it with you every day. Don't hesitate to raise any disputes directly with me.
Smoking Rules
Your host is a non-smoker.
Smoking is allowed outdoors only.
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
