Nsaho resort

Nsaho Rwengaju Kidubuli, Fort Portal, Uganda
0707 176931
Check-In: Friday, September 6, 2024 | Check-Out: Sunday, September 8, 2024
Rate: Approx $150 / 2 people

Nsaho Resort is located a short distance down the (very bumpy) road from the wedding venue (Kyaninga Lodge). This is the preferred hotel for guests not staying at Kyaninga Lodge itself. It was recommended by the manager of Kyaninga Lodge and will be the second most convenient place to stay (after Kyaninga Lodge itself). We recommend booking as soon as you know you can come, as other suitable accommodation options are located in Fort Portal town. This means that if you don't stay at Nsaho or Kyaninga, be aware that you will have about a 25 minute ride along a bumpy road after the wedding to get back to Fort Portal town for the night.


Nsaho has 9 double rooms, 1 family room (2 double beds within), and 2 twin rooms. Double and twin rooms go for $150 per night full board (likely less for B&B) and $330 for family room (FB). The restaurant serves Filipino and Japanese food. It is set in a very cute Japanese lily/koi garden setting.


We would recommend getting B&B only and ordering lunch/dinner from the menu as necessary during the stay. Let Stef know if you have trouble booking with them.
