Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Mukono Between Archives, Culture and Nature

A stay in Mukono can be planned around your reason for visiting: the UCU Archives are in the city, while the Ham Mukasa Museum and Kalagala Falls are nearby. This gives you the choice of a specific archive visit, as well as cultural and nature-related attractions. When planning accommodation, it is important to distinguish the archive’s access requirements from the visiting and activity conditions at nearby destinations. If you first decide whether archive use or an outing will be the main focus, you can check the other details more purposefully.

UCU Archives: Access and Fees

The UCU Archives are located on the Main Campus in Mukono. External users who are neither employees nor students of Uganda Christian University can use them with valid identification. If you belong to this group, make sure to bring identification for your visit. The published annual fees are UGX 150,000 for external users and UGX 80,000 for former UCU employees or students. As fees may change over time, confirm the amount for your status directly with the university before planning your archive visit. This will help clarify in advance which access requirement applies to you and which fee information you need to verify.

Ham Mukasa Museum Nearby

The Ham Mukasa Museum is housed in a historic building that Hamu Mukasa had built in 1902. The museum also preserves the relic of the car he drove. This connects the building’s history with an object from Mukasa’s life. For visitors interested in culture, these are two specific points of interest: the historic building and the car relic. If you would like to include the museum in your trip, check beforehand whether visits are currently possible.

Nature at Kalagala Falls

Kalagala Falls are in Mukono District, north of the city of Mukono. Nature and forest walks, as well as birdwatching, are offered there. Walking and birdwatching appeal to different interests: you can focus on getting active in nature or on observing birds. The falls are therefore a nature option nearby, but not within the city itself. Before your trip, check whether the activities on offer are available.

Plan Your Stay Around Your Reason for Visiting

The three highlights involve different planning considerations. For the archives, user status, valid identification, and the annual fee to be confirmed are important. For the museum, check current access for visitors; at Kalagala Falls, check whether walks and birdwatching are available. If you are especially interested in cultural history or nature, first check the visiting and activity conditions before making these stops a fixed part of your travel plans.
