The Boma Entebbe
This perennially popular boutique hotel is tucked away on a leafy residential street in Entebbe, a few minutes' drive from the airport. The rooms of this original 1940s home look out onto flower-filled courtyards; the poolside restaurant serves an impressive variety of dishes; the mature gardens are a birding paradise; and the smiling, professional staff are famously eager to help. Decor combines European colonial and African styles: chunky Chesterfield sofas, wicker chairs, and dark-wood furniture populate the public areas; safari lanterns light up pathways at night; netted 4-poster beds dominate bedrooms. The Boma has become such an institution for tourists, business people, and traveling aid workers alike that it pays to book with as much notice as possible.
