Bushpig Backpackers Hostel

Rates right up there as one of the nicest hostels I've stayed in & I've visited 89 countries now.
Everything is practical & convenient with super attention to detail.
The staff are so friendly & helpful. The breakfast is lovely. Having a simple restaurant & bar makes life easy when you come back dusty & tired after a long day.
Very highly recommend.

Best place to be when in Kampala - peaceful garden - vibrant bar - super breakfasts - lovely place to meet people

Beautiful accomodation - from the rooms to the gardens - besides looking great everything is wel kept and clean
The staff is upright welcoming and friendly, their smile welcomes you from morning breakfast till late night bar
Last but not least, the ladies at the reception area, they are your life-savers in busy and hectic Kampala. Always there to help you

Definitely no stay at bushpig!!

Bushpig is a fantastic place to stay in busy kampala. Homey, fun, friendly, funky. The staff were all so helpful and kind. My single room with shared bathroom was very comfortable. The facilities - shower, toilets, kitchen- are clean and in excellent working order. There are lots of outdoor places to sit near reception where the wifi connections are best. The brightly colored cushions -and a relaxed hostel cat!- are comfortable and welcoming.
Love bushpig. And the price is excellent too.
(I am a 70 year old solo female traveler and I felt totally welcomed and at ease at bushpig. My experience is that there is no ageism in Africa. )

More than worth to stay a night

Nicest staff and probably the nicest place to stay a night in Kampala. Really appreciated the hospitality and enjoyed the delicious food. I would definetly visit that gem again if I get another chance to do so. Thanks for everything! Cheers!

Good Kampala base

Well-set up hostel in a good location which fits the bill as a good social hostel to explore Kampala from. The bar is a good set up. All nicely clean. Reception team were useful for onward travel. Breakfast could be more fulsome, otherwise food from the restaurant was nice.

Excellent location
