Relax and Reconnect in the Heart of Western Uganda
Ahaka was developed with a desire to provide a unique alternative to the traditional hotel. Instead of impersonal, crowded, and generic, find a true retreat in our collection of private cottages in a tranquil setting. Ahaka means “home” in our language, which is what we hope you feel when you come to stay.
Ahaka is conveniently situated along the road between Mbarara city center and Kasese, but you’ll quickly leave the busy city behind as you find yourself nestled amongst flourishing banana plantations and lush valley vegetation. As the noises of the bustling city and demands of daily life fade, let your senses come alive again, with only the sounds of nature to capture your attention. Wander around the gardens and unwind as you take in the space and fresh air.
Find a unique experience of Western Uganda, known as the ‘Pearl of Africa,’ rather than the tourist template. Developed and run by locals, a stay at Ahaka is an opportunity to connect with the heart of Uganda.

Gather together in a multitude of common areas, including campfires and barbecues, where you can enjoy self-service dining just to your liking.
