Why it's unique

A leafy escape in Uganda’s former capital, No. 5 Boutique is the ideal base to land your head before safari adventures begin.

Days unfold slowly here: Wander the botanical gardens where towering mahogany trees shelter colobus monkeys, or spot prehistoric shoebill storks along the papyrus-lined shore. Then relax at a breezy local café or sip a cocktail back on the terrace.
