Although it’s just a stone’s throw from Entebbe International Airport, you would never think so. Enclosed in lovely grounds, No. 5 Boutique Hotel offers travellers a quiet haven after a long arrival flight or a place to recoup after a gorilla trek, right down to a dayroom for those arriving at more unusual times.

Rooms run the gamut from simple but comfortable twins all the way to double-storey apartments with kitchenettes and the stand-alone private villa if you’re a group who wants space and privacy. In addition to necessities like Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a spa and a gym, No. 5  also has fun extras like super-fresh Uganda coffees, views of Lake Victoria from the upper levels and big-screen movie nights in the garden.
