Holiday houses in Hima

We came with three kids and were a bit nervous about being off the beaten path — but this place turned out to be a gem. The garden is like a wonderland, the house is well-equipped (we cooked pancakes in the morning!), and everyone — especially Arali and Brenda the caretakers — made sure we were safe and comfortable. The rooms are charmingly rustic, though you should know that there’s no hot water on demand. You can ask for it to be heated, but we actually ended up enjoying the cool morning rinse — it woke us up better than coffee. :) There’s currently no direct way to reach the lake, which was a small letdown for our kids. But with all the other experiences — the theatre night with Rayka, the drumming, the monkeys — they didn’t even remember this by the end! Its a very unique place - go check it out!

Butterfly cottage is truly idyllic. Set within the forest with tremendous bird life all around. Easy access to knowledgeable local folks who can guide you on wonderful nature walks through the property. Less than 10 minutes from the starting point of Uganda's finest Chimp tracking location and there are a number of beautiful crater lakes nearby. Bigodi swamp and Town are also close and interesting excursions. The property owner is extremely pleasant and helpful Highly recommended for nature loves visiting this part of Uganda.

Gorgeous getaway with very friendly ans helpful staff. We loved the views and how remote it felt! The only issue we encountered was the inaccessibility of the property after rain. However, the staff was very caring and helpful, offering a quick resolution.

It was easy to go to Queen Elisabeth National Park from there. The host can help you arrange the trip there. There was hot and running water. The Wi-Fi works well. There are smaller shops nearby and the town Kasese nearby has everything you need (restaurants, supermarkets) and the town can be reached in about 10 minutes by Boda boda or car. The host is very nice and you may also join him to see the orphanage. Only downsides: it is a little bit dark inside (but you won't stay there much anyways because there is enaugh to do in the surroundings) and you should try to keep moskitos outside at night by not turning on the light and leaving the door open at the same time 🤗 We had a great stay and would come again.

Sure! Here's a smoother, more polished version of your message: --- The view was absolutely stunning, and we had such a lovely time! The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming—we truly felt at home. We cooked for ourselves, and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. I was especially impressed by the thoughtful touches like solar-powered battery banks and torches. The whole place was perfectly set up for a cosy, comfortable stay. The host also kindly accommodated our special request, which made our visit even more memorable. I can’t wait to come back!

Jojo is a very warm and welcoming host. Her place was easy to find and she greeted us when we arrived. She also lives in the house and she made us a delicious breakfast in the mornings which filled us up for the whole day. She has a beautiful garden which we enjoyed sitting in and picking gooseberries from. She even sent my friend home with some flower seeds. Overall, a comfortable, quiet and welcoming place if you want to feel right at home in Fort Portal!
