Serviced Apartments Near Munyonyo & Lake Victoria
Fully furnished residences in Buziga, Kampala — 5 minutes from Speke Resort Munyonyo and the shores of Lake Victoria. From $59 per night, direct booking.
Why Choose Munyonyo for Your Kampala Stay?
Munyonyo is Kampala's premier lakeside neighbourhood — home to Speke Resort Munyonyo, the Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort, and the Uganda Martyrs' Shrine. It sits on the northern shore of Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake, offering a rare combination of natural beauty, diplomatic calm, and proximity to the city centre.
AL-YANNI is located in Buziga, the residential neighbourhood immediately adjacent to Munyonyo. Guests enjoy the tranquillity and lake-area setting of Munyonyo with the added privacy of a fully self-contained gated residence — rather than a hotel room. The compound is a 5-minute drive from Speke Resort Munyonyo and 10 minutes from Ggaba Landing Site on Lake Victoria.
For business travellers, the area offers fast access to Kampala's diplomatic quarter, the State House, and major NGO and UN offices. For leisure guests, it is the ideal base for Lake Victoria boat trips, the Martyrs' Shrine pilgrimage route, and Kampala's finest lakeside dining.
Why Guests Choose AL-YANNI Over Hotels

What Guests Say About Staying Near Munyonyo
"We specifically wanted to be near Lake Victoria and Munyonyo for our family holiday. AL-YANNI in Buziga was perfect — 5 minutes to the lake, complete privacy, and far more space than any hotel in the area. Adl was wonderfully attentive throughout."
"I was in Kampala for two weeks on business and needed somewhere near the State House and Munyonyo corridor. The two-bedroom residence was exceptional — fast Wi-Fi, attentive service, and Fayed handled everything seamlessly. Better than any hotel I've stayed at in Kampala."
"Stayed for ten nights with my family. The location in Buziga is ideal — quiet, secure, and minutes from Munyonyo and the lake. Masha was always on hand and so attentive. The outdoor space was perfect for the children in the evenings."
