Gorilla Neighbour Guest House

Gorilla Neighbour is a small guest house on a tree-lined street in Entebbe, the lakeside town about forty kilometres from Kampala. The property runs a complimentary airport shuttle, which makes it a practical first or last night for travellers passing through Entebbe International Airport before or after time in the national parks.

Four room types cover most configurations. The single room is compact — just under ten square metres — with a shared bathroom. The double or twin room comes with a private bathroom and is available in three locations within the property, ranging from around ten to fifteen square metres. The triple room sleeps three in a private-bathroom room of just over twenty square metres. The family room holds a queen and a double bed with a private bathroom. All rooms have mosquito nets, a fan, tea and coffee facilities, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

The property has a restaurant and bar on site, twenty-four-hour security, secure parking, laundry service, and an activity desk. The activity desk can help arrange what comes next: gorilla tracking, game drives, bird watching, boat trips on Lake Victoria, and guided walks are all listed as options the guest house can connect you to.

The airport shuttle — complimentary in both directions — is the most practically useful detail for anyone timing a safari itinerary through Entebbe.
