Designed to lend a very distinct homey feel, Gorilla African Guest House has contemporary amenities and hint of a tradition-rich charm that will make you lower your defenses. For example, all of our rooms exude a blend of simplicity and class. They boast practical furnishings, such as cozy bedding and spacious showering areas, and complimentary treats like a full-plated breakfast and Wi-Fi access. The bedrooms are clean, with comfortable beds with mosquito nets, with hot water shower and a sofa. The veranda just outside these rooms provides a great place to chill in the afternoon and enjoy the sunset or chat to fellow travelers.

Many rooms even provide television LCD/plasma screen, fans, wake-up service, desk to please the most discerning guest. Gorilla African Guest House is an ideal place of stay for travelers seeking charm, comfort and convenience in Entebbe.
I am a hotelier and adventure travel / tour business consultant. My major interests are making our guests feel at home and comfortable. I arrange unique tours and travels for guests looking for exciting Uganda adventure trip.
We are located in a serene and quiet residential area of Entebbe. We are away from the noise, traffic and crowds but still close enough to the main town. We are close to shopping areas, bars, banks, restaurants and entertainment and beaches ie Banga Beach, Nakiwogo ferry landing site as well as various shopping malls, forex bureaus, banks, restaurants.
