Company information

Originally from New Zealand and Corsica, Kevin and Leslie have been in Uganda for 15 years. After living and working in beautiful national parks, we decided to move to peaceful Entebbe and begin Karibu in 2012. At Karibu, our reputation is built on attentive service, exceptional food, and an experience that feels both exclusive and welcoming.

Property information

Welcome to Karibu – once a presidential residence, now an elegant boutique guest house where history meets warm hospitality. Nestled in serene surroundings, Karibu offers just eight thoughtfully appointed rooms and a charming family cottage, ensuring an atmosphere of intimacy and personalized service. Our lush gardens, tranquil pool with a cascading waterfall, and beautifully presented cuisine create an inviting retreat for those seeking comfort, relaxation, and a touch of distinction.

Neighbourhood information

We are in a residential neighbourhood away from the shops and bars. The hillside location means a cooler climate and lovely views of the sunset over Lake Victoria. Our tropical garden has over 40 species of bird-life that we have identified.
