Fort Portal · Western Uganda
Welcome to Whispering Nests, a collection of thoughtfully appointed stays in the beautiful highlands of Fort Portal, Uganda. Surrounded by rolling hills, lush landscapes and some of Uganda's most remarkable natural attractions, our properties offer a place to slow down, reconnect and experience the beauty of western Uganda.
Some places are simply somewhere to stay. Others become part of the experience. At Whispering Nests, we've created welcoming spaces where you can enjoy the freedom of a private retreat, the comforts of a well-appointed home and the ease of having a dedicated team on hand. Stay in a room or make an entire property yours. However you choose to visit, there's room to settle in and make yourself at home.
Two distinct properties, each offering its own character and a different way to experience Fort Portal. Whether you're travelling as a couple, with family or bringing everyone together, there's a Whispering Nests stay to suit your plans.
There is something special about arriving somewhere and immediately feeling at ease. Perched above Fort Portal, Nyamuhoti is a private retreat surrounded by greenery and expansive views across the valley. Days here are best spent between the pool, the terrace and the comfort of the house, with nowhere in particular you need to be.
Take a dip in the pool, settle into the swing overlooking the landscape or spend a slow afternoon in the lounge, where a grand piano and thoughtfully considered interiors create a welcoming atmosphere.
With eight double en-suite bedrooms, Nyamuhoti comfortably accommodates up to 16 guests, making it an ideal setting for family holidays, group escapes and special occasions.
Whether you're looking for a comfortable room for two or the freedom of an entire private retreat, Nyamuhoti offers flexible ways to enjoy your stay. Choose from individual room accommodation or reserve the entire property exclusively for your group. All rates are quoted in US dollars and are subject to availability.
