Africa Treasures Home - Hostel
Hostel
Old Kira Road Moyo Close, Kampala, Uganda

Guest Reviews:

- "They were unaware that I had booked the room and were going to cancel my reservation. Being in a foreign country this would have left me in a very unsafe scenario. The staff eventually agreed to let us stay and prepared the room. They made us breakfast the following day which was delicious. The room did not have a garbage and no soap was available at the time of check in. Overall would not go back given the cost of the room."

Hostel
Busiro

Whether you're an intern, a tourist or a volunteer, Bushpig is your home away from home! Since opening in 2016 we have become well known for our mix of friendly hospitality and affordable prices. Our rooms are basic but comfortable, and our 24/7 reception, tight security, peaceful garden and excellent location make us an ideal base while you're in the big city. Plus, you'll meet plenty of interns, volunteers, tourists and others in our busy bar. We look forward to seeing you!

The space
Bushpig is your ideal base while exploring Kampala. We have great budget beds, the best staff and delicious pizzas and drinks, all in a central location surrounded by Uganda’s best shopping, eating and drinking. With our great facilities, delicious breakfasts and 24/7 reception, it’s no surprise we’re the #1 rated hostel in Kampala on Tripadvisor!

Our beds fit all pockets and group sizes, from comfy dormitories with wide beds to en-suite double rooms with a great view of the city, and long-stay rooms for interns and volunteers at special rates.

Guest access
Apart from your room, you're welcome to make use of the co-working space, the TV room, the bar and the garden. The building is staffed 24/7, and we have no curfew, so you'll be right at home.

Other things to note
We're in the city centre, and we're a backpacker hostel. This is not the Hilton! There will be noise from the neighbourhood bars on Friday nights, and the traffic on a Monday is usually pretty bad. If you're not sure about whether we're the right fit for your needs, just get in touch and we'll be happy to honestly answer any questions you might have about the place, the facilities or the neighbourhood.
