What Our Guests Say 💬
“Home of Friends was my favourite place to stay and visit in all of Uganda. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and helpful, the accommodation is beautiful, the scenery is gorgeous, and the location is perfect for visiting Sipi Falls as well as more remote villages.
My favourite experience of the past 6 weeks was hiking the Mosopisiek Trail for 2 days. If you have the ability to hike 15km and are curious about a home stay, do yourself a favour and sign up for this hike. You will love it! My guide was Cephus, who is from the village that we hiked to and slept in.

“We had the pleasure of spending a few days at Home of Friends, and from the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The stunning surroundings of Kapchorwa make this place truly special. The cultural tours give you a deep appreciation for the region and its rich heritage. This is a destination you simply have to experience.
The food was delicious, the hospitality was warm, and Eliza’s massages were absolutely amazing. Plus, it’s an easy getaway from Kampala, perfect for a weekend escape.
There’s no doubt. We’ll be coming back for more!”
“Hidden Gem of UG. Don’t miss out on a car/bike/hike/run ride to the High Altitude Training Center and continue a bit further to see the amazing landscape. Also, Cooking with the Mamas is a must. Thanks for the beautiful time spent with at your Guesthouse. Will be back.”
