Come Visit
“Every morning I woke up to a delicious breakfast, and every night I had another amazing meal. I was only 17 when
I travelled here, but I always
felt comfortable and well accommodated.”
– I.W., 2014
We welcome visitors for any length of time from those just passing through to those interested in an extended stay!
Our Guest House, a Bed and Breakfast oasis with western amenities and Ugandan touches, is located on 2½ acres in a village called Joggo. The land is lush and dotted with occasional monkeys, cows, chickens, goats and an array of birds – a true bird watcher’s paradise. This is a true African experience!
A security guard and caretaker are on the premises 24/7. Annette, the caretaker of the Guest House, prepares Ugandan meals and watches over your every need. Join her and learn how to prepare chapatti (unleavened flatbread) for one of your meals. Raymond, on-site staff, enjoys accompanying you on the easy and safe walk into the heart of the village. Charles, Lynn, and the guest house staff are available for all your needs, starting with your arrival at the airport.
When you stay at our Guest House all proceeds go directly to our programs for children and adults in the village of Joggo.
“What is wonderful about
this guest house is that it gives
you an opportunity to spend
quality time in a small African community, and yet you get
to stay in clean, comfortable, peaceful, safe, friendly accommodations.”
– J. H., 2012
The Connect Africa Experience
Every morning, you will awaken to different activities happening around you: children attending educational enrichment activities and playing on the swings and seesaw, children and adults enjoying the library and classes in vocational training. Visit with families, stroll through the village, and engage with people who are very excited to say hello and share their stories. By simply speaking with them you are enriching their day.
Children are thrilled to meet visitors from around the world and everyone loves to practice English. You have a profound impact on their lives by spending time talking with them, joining an activity, playing with the children, teaching, or helping with what interests you.
Being with us in Uganda has been described by others as a transformative experience.
”I came away from Uganda with a strong feeling that every American, in fact every Westerner, at some point in their life should seek out this kind of experience.”
