About

Bushpig is located on Acacia Avenue in Kampala's Kololo area, near to the city centre and very close to some of Kampala's best eating, drinking and shopping.

We are big enough to host any group, but small enough to give personal service! The showers are hot, the noise levels are low, the staff know the city inside out and there's even a garden with deck chairs.

We offer accommodation options to fit all budgets, from comfortable dormitories with larger-than-average beds to large en-suite double rooms with a great view of the city skyline. All rooms have linen and mosquito nets.

This place was awesome and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a place in Kampala. Great vibes, even during off season

Interesting place, on the one hand very well setup with a nice bar, lovely food and very safe. On the other hand the bad was very bad, I'm average height and it was too short and had a metal end for no reason. It was also way too warm for the supplied duvet (I just used the cover) and there was a lot of noise.
