Kampala's hills each have a character. Here's where to base yourself for business, a long stay or value.
The upmarket central hills — embassies, top restaurants and offices. Safe, convenient and the default for business and first visits.
Leafy and cafe-filled, popular for longer stays and remote work, close to the industrial-area offices.
Quieter suburbs with newer, better-value apartments — space and calm a short drive from the centre.
Ride-hailing (Bolt, Uber) and boda-bodas get you everywhere; traffic is heavy at peak, so staying central saves time. Entebbe airport is about an hour from the city.
Kololo and Nakasero — central, safe and close to offices and embassies.
Ntinda and Muyenga offer newer apartments at better prices, a short drive out.
Entebbe is about an hour from central Kampala depending on traffic.
