🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation UPA has a guesthouse for the volunteers. We can accommodate about 18 volunteers at a time.
The volunteers have to share room with others. The guesthouse is well equipped. It has one kitchen, a bathroom
and a toilet. It is not very luxury but fulfills the basic needs and standards. Apart form the guesthouse you can choose
to stay with a host family. The host families are either in the same area with the guesthouse and the UPA office or can
be chosen close to your project. Staying with a host family gives you the chance to get in touch with the Ugandan culture
on a different level than staying in the guesthouse among other foreign volunteers, even though the standard of living
might be more basic than in the guesthouse. Accommodation will be at the UPA guest house in Nansana or maybe hosted
directly at the project. It is also possible to stay in a host family.
📍 About the location
Past Kasubi Tombs(UNESCO Heritage Site) is 2km to CEFOVID Uganda Office and 3.5km From UPA Guest house to Kasubi Tombs making it 5.5 km and this costs Ugandan shillings 5000 for public means transport.It is a new Project which didn't have any volunteers before.
