    The lodge has a great view of the lake, nice facilities for relaxing and good food while still being close to Kampala. The staff was very kind, as well as the cat. The breakfast is very good for 10usd, you get eggs, bacon, sausage, fruits, juice,...

    Second time staying here. Lush grounds, beautiful view of the lake, and soothing sounds of frogs and birds. Feels like being out in nature even though you're technically still in Kampala. Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was comfortable...

Property information

Yellow Haven’s beautiful gardens are an oasis of peace and quiet surrounded by papyrus groves on the shores of Lake Victoria. The modern Dutch-style Lodge is easily accessible from Kampala - but miraculously far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The gardens and water inlets are home to a great variety of birds, frogs, and fish – and boats are available anytime, just to paddle along the lovely shoreline, to fish, or to have a picnic or barbecue on one of the nearby islands. There’s also great hiking and cycling – and at day’s end you can take a dip in the infinity pool, have a sauna or massage, or simply relax with one of our fresh-fruit cocktails and a snack! Designer-architect Ronald Scheer and his long-suffering Irish wife, Joan, dreamed of building this enchanting complex during their many years in Africa – a place where friends from around the world could experience the magic of nature while living in luxury, and enjoying great service - and great food. At the Yellow Haven, you’ll reside in an ultra-modern two storey townhouse, or in one of the two lovely single storey units. All apartments are fitted with the latest European amenities and offer total privacy
