KARUMA TRAVELLERS' HOTEL — Hotel in Kiryandongo

I stayed at the Karuma Travellers Hotel while working in Karuma from August - December, 2019. I returned for another four nights in January while back in Uganda on vacation with my wife. We stayed at the Karuma Travellers Hotel while visiting Murchison Falls National Park.||The staff are all very professional, friendly and helpful. The hotel is well maintained and very, very clean. The grounds around the hotel are very nice with mature trees and the gardeners keep them tidy. The restaurant has a great menu and the cooks are excellent, and I would know after staying there for approximately five months. ||As mentioned by another reviewer, the WiFi is poor at times.
