Haven is the operative word in this boutique lodging on Kampala's outskirts near the airport. On Lake Victoria, the surrounding marshland attracts prolific birdlife. Rooms, including a new tree house, offer lovely simplicity, with canopy beds and no TV. Instead there's an authentic Irish pub, garden lounge area and meandering stone paths to a saltwater pool and pond.
Hosts Joan and Ronald offer a slew of activities, including on-site African cooking classes, hiking trips, biking and boat rides straight off their private dock. There's also a sauna and massage room.
