Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Uganda face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Activists estimated in 2007 that the Ugandan LGBT community consisted of 500,000 people.
Both male and female homosexual activity is illegal. Non-vaginal intercourse (such as oral sex and anal sex) between heterosexuals is also illegal. Under the Penal Code, “carnal knowledge against the order of nature” between two males carries a potential penalty of life imprisonment.

Breakfast was far above expectations and dinner was superb. Having said that, the outstanding factor at this hotel was the warmth and generosity of the staff; I’ve been all over the world and I don’t remember a hotel I’ve stayed in with such incredible staff. They were a credit to both the hotel and the Hilton group.
It is very safe and clean. The food in the restaurant is far better than expected for a Hilton Garden Inns and is prepared and served with expertise!

The facility is enclosed in a refreshingly good ambiance, the speciously wide rooms that have a state of the art furnishing give great comfort and a breathtaking experience. The food in the mosaic restaurant was thrillingly excellent and yummy with all local and international dishes. Not forgetting the pool side that that facilitated all my swimming lessons.
I felt special that it really felt like home to me, It was a wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend this hotel to everybody because It’s a true sample of outstanding hospitality.
The breakfast buffet is delicious – with fresh fruits, nuts, a great selection of hot foods and juices, pastries, and an omelette station, amongst many other options. I used the gym regularly and found it very well-maintained. I took one massage and had a fantastic experience as well! Lastly, I ate quite a bit of room service and the food was always delicious.
Wonderful hotel in a convenient location, minutes from the city, and good transport connection.
Had already stayed here on 1 occasion and couldn’t resist to go back. Rooms are spacious and very clean, best WiFi in the city.
The staff was extremely friendly and everyone went above and beyond to provide great service. Great breakfast, awesome lounge, great views from room.
The best feature for me, was not the pool, gym nor spa (which were all great, by the way), but the simple ability to turn on and off the air on in my room when it suited me. As someone who always feels cold and suffers in hotels because of unduly freezing room temperatures that most hotel managements don’t care to resolve for me, the guest-friendly automatic air conditioning system was a welcome change. I’ll definitely return here when I’m back in Kampala for leisure.
The room was the basic King room, but was most comfortable, super clean, fresh and covered all needs. Is very close to a big shopping mall, no more than 10 minutes on foot. Super fun swimming pool and a gym with all necessary equipment. The hotel is environmentally friendly with has a nice atmosphere and perks and gives each guest the option to reuse linens and towels or not. All staff members were professional and pleasant. I will definitely stay here again.

Location of hotel is excellent. Close to airport and local attractions. Also, modern mall is within walking distance of hotel. Hotel is exceptionally clean and well maintained. Has as all the modern amenities. Comfortable bed and very nice bedding. Food is amazingly good (both local and traditional cuisine).
The room was very clean, the staff extremely friendly and accommodating (I had to be picked up rather late from the airport), and the room service was the most affordable meal I’ve ever had. The location is excellent too- the hotel is connected to a shopping mall with a fantastic cafe, as well as a grocery store for bottled water and fun food souvenirs. I highly recommend staying here.
It is a brilliant hotel. Warm welcome, beautiful rooms and a very comfortable bed. The whole hotel is spotlessly clean and the room turn down service was excellent. I have extensive food allergies and I needn’t have worried at all. The food was great and the breakfast buffet was extensive. The location of being in Victoria Mall was brilliant as we could then go out in the evening for a stroll and change money if required.
Excellent hotel accommodations. The hotel offers universal converters as part of the outlets in each room. Well prepared breakfast buffet or you can ordered something other. Breakfast meal accommodates travelers who are on different time zones. Not just the typical breakfast meal but food that one would order for lunch or dinner.

The large room was very much up to good European standards, with large comfortable bed and good quality linen and towels, walk in shower with good supply of hot water and pressure. Television with BBC World News and other channels, A/C, and a nice large terrace with table and chairs. All facilities were clean and well maintained. The breakfast was excellent with a nice selection of food, including fresh fruits individually prepared omelettes and good Ugandan fresh coffee all enjoyed in nice surroundings, and there is a terrace area to dine in also.
The deal was offered at a very good price, and I was very comfortable here, so I would have no hesitation in returning to this hotel, or recommending it to others visiting Uganda.
