About this property

Nestled in Muyenga, Jjajja's Cottage offers a calm, quiet and cozy retreat.

Nestled under a canopy of trees at the top of a hill, Jjajja's Cottage is the perfect place to put your feet up and unwind after a long Kampala day. You'll forget that you're in the heart of the city, waking up to the sound of birds (and sometimes monkeys) in this peaceful little house. Our little cottage, built originally for our great grandmother (Jjajja), is your home away from home.
