Our accommodation is the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventures and experiences.

Kyampisi Backpackers Home offers volunteer placements at a grass roots level in Uganda, where you simply pay for your accommodation and we organize your volunteering for free.

Kyampisi Backpackers Home is located along the Kampala- Gayaza-Kayunga-Jinja Road in Kalagi town in Mukono District. The home is a perfect choice for travelers looking for a family-like environment to stay in Uganda. The location is quiet and there is little traffic or noise at night from outside. Kyampisi Backpackers Home provides a strong sense of family for travelers during their stay in Uganda.

Located in a humble neighborhood of just few meters away from Kalagi town, we are nestled away from all the noise of the big city, but close enough to ‘quickly’ get you back to downtown to sight see or party at the pubs and clubs until the birds are chirping.

We are just about 20 minutes’ drive from Mukono town on an all-weather tarmac road. In Kalagi, the road from Mukono forms a T-junction with the road from Kampala to Kayunga. Mukono the nearest major town is a rapidly expanding city about 45 minutes from Kampala and 60 minutes away from Jinja town- the adventure capital of East Africa.

Kyampisi Backpackers Home primarily hosts volunteers, but other travelers and tourists are also very welcome to stay. For volunteers, it is a place to relax after the intense experiences of the day, a place to chat, to rest, watch TV or go for a walk around the neighborhood.

Popular Trips & Activities from the Home:

From the home, we can help arrange trips and expeditions around the country. These include wildlife safaris, hiking, white water rafting, horse-riding, fishing trips, mountain bike tours etc. While our community tours, wildlife safaris and community development volunteer projects provide an authentic, one-of-a-kind cultural experiences, it’s still nice to know that you can retreat to our comfortable living room or rooftop bar to watch English movies, Skype your friends and family and surf the Internet in your free time.
