Spend your days exploring the North African interior designs, take your dinner in the 9-acre gardens, or enjoying a soak in one of five beautiful pools. Jnane Tamsna also offers unique experiences like a Moroccan cooking class, Arabic calligraphy lessons, and even camel rides!

Imagine sitting by the campfire while all the wildlife of Kibale National Park serenades you. Imagine sliding open your guestroom doors to uninterrupted views of Mother Nature. What you’re imagining is Primate Lodge.

A 16-cottage boutique hotel and luxury safari camp constructed with local materials and operating on solar energy, Primate Lodge is a wondrous way to experience Uganda’s outdoors. Especially when you stay in Elephant Banda, the two-storied honeymoon cottage that includes romantic, private dining for two.

This stylish beachfront hotel boasts spacious suites ideal for families, couples, or even long-term stays (tempting, isn’t it??). Best of all are the two-level Mahogany suites with their uninterrupted ocean views and drop-dead gorgeous interior designs.

As its name might suggest, Créole cuisine reigns supreme at this resort, though it’s complemented by selections inspired from all over the world, which you can enjoy in the four restaurants and bars. If it’s a little adventure you’re craving, head to La Kaz Notik for heaps of water sports like SUP, windsurfing, kayaking, and flyboarding. Don’t forget to pop into La Créole Jazz Club for a rhythmic nightcap.

Don’t let the setting fool you; your stay at Asanjaa Ndembo might be within hearing distance of the Great Ruaha River, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be roughing it! Each of the eight suites in this family-owned boutique hotel features a private verandah, plunge pool, pop-up spa, and all of the comforts you need at your fingertips.

It’s an idyllic escape for any occasion, but especially for intimate weddings. After all, lovebirds, what could be a more fitting honeymoon treat than birdwatching in the Miombo forest?
