Great stay in a beautiful hotel

The Hotel was one of our favourite stays in Uganda. It is located in a small village outside of Mbarara in a very calm area. The hotel has very nice gardens and a wonderful view over the Uganda countryside. The staff was very friendly and supportive. We wished that we could have stayed longer

An oasis from a long journey, beautiful grounds, large spacious room with comfortable bed

The room was very very spacious, with a very comfortable king size bed. The staff were exceptional. Provided room service as it was raining and we didn't want to venture out to the dining area. It has an extremely large and varied menu at good prices. Wine and beer available too.

I enjoyed everything about this accomodation and in particular the warmth of the personnel. They all do their outmost to make the client happy. Travelling alone in Uganda can be quite a challenge, I felt at home at Gkat resort.

The Hiden Gem

Richard and the team are great. They were very warm , accommodating and welcoming towards us. The location is just perfect with a country feeling yet also very close to the city centre. The scenery is just awesome, with mountain views, sunsets and sunrises. The camp fires were simply amazing. The catering was perfect, with a wide range of delicious dishes available on the menu and served on time. GKAT is recommended to all with good taste and we. Will certainly visit again.

A perfect resort in the greater Mbarara region.

We had a great stay at GKAT resort. Manager Richard and his super friendly staff made our stay amazing! It’s located just a few minutes outside the heart of Mbarara, has a great garden with beautiful views of the surrounding hills. The chef cooks delicious food and the staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. A crystal clear recommendation for anyone visiting this region. We will return! Did I mention the low prices and clean and comfortable spacious rooms?

Very good!

Away from the noisy crowded city. Awesome views. GKAT resort is peaceful and quiet; big room, comfortable beds with hot water; friendly staff and good food! We really enjoyed our stay. The fire in the evening and the chairs around was great! Pork ribs and chicken tikka masala were delicious. And the Wi-Fi is fast! The host was happy to help at all times, they even walked with us to a big pond close to the resort.

Overall a good stay

Location is really peaceful and well known by locals, making journeys into/from town quite easy. The bed was big and comfortable, and the shower was warm with good pressure - it’s the best shower we’ve had in Uganda! The view from the terrace was lovely and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was great! The manager is really accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The place also has an interesting history and is still under renovation but this does not at all hinder the stay.

GKAT resort is the perfect spot to unwind. The place is serene and has awesome views. The rooms are quite spacious, and their breakfast will exceed your expectation. While there, be sure to try their pork ribs. The staff are courteous and ready to help. Mr. Richard is an amazing host, ready to help at all times. He recommended Mr. Theodore, a cab operator, who took us to various places around mbarara and to queen Elizabeth National Park. We definitely would want to be back to GKAT.

Amazing value for money and fantastic hosts.

Situated in a beautiful location, surrounded by countryside and wonderful views. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Food was very nice and there was a large menu to choose from. The English breakfast was cooked fresh and more than enough. Great value for money.

Fabulous location, room and food!

Fabulous room, very comfortable. Dinner was delicious; I loved the pork ribs, matooke & fish sauce, enjoyed by an open fire overlooking a wonderful vista as the sun dropped. Safe and secure. Overnight security for added peace of mind. Easy to find, just off the road but wonderfully peaceful (no road noise). I’d highly recommend a stay here!
