“Home of Friends turned out to be my absolute favourite place to stay during my time in Uganda. The team here is incredibly kind, attentive and welcoming, the rooms are lovely, and the views are stunning.

The highlight of my six-week trip was the two-day Mosopisiek Trail hike. If you enjoy long walks and want to experience an authentic village homestay, this adventure is a must. My guide was fantastic. He grew up in the very village we stayed in, which made the experience even more special.”

“I stayed at Home of Friends for a week while training with Run Kapchorwa and absolutely loved it. The rooms were comfortable, and the fresh, locally sourced food was simple, high-quality, and perfect to fuel my training. Daan and the team created a warm, family-like atmosphere.

The unlimited water refills were a great touch for runners. I also spent many relaxing hours in the garden hammock. As a bonus, I even ran into Joshua Cheptegei in the restaurant on my last evening.”

“If you’re visiting Kapchorwa, Home of Friends is the perfect place to stay. The rooms are cozy, the food is excellent, and the team goes above and beyond to make sure you feel cared for. Their warm attention to detail really makes a difference.

I felt completely safe throughout my stay — the security is professional, and the peaceful location just outside town adds to the relaxed atmosphere. A quick tip: give the team a call before arrival for the best driving directions, as some local roads are smoother than others.”
