    Breakfast was excellent, better than any I have had in Uganda in the 30+ plus years I have been going there. It was set in a very quiet location near the summit of one of Kampala's hills. The garden was an oasis of peace and relaxation, so...

    Location - we felt like we were at one with nature. Also as we had occupied majority of the rooms there it felt like the whole place was like our own. Breakfast - was brilliant especially as they had a good variety of food to cater for us...
