Uganda’s Speke Resort Munyonyo Courts Domestic Tourists with Easter Staycation Packages
KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) – As the Easter holiday approaches, Kampala’s hospitality sector is gearing up for a surge in domestic tourism, with Speke Resort Munyonyo launching a range of staycation packages aimed at families and leisure travelers. The lakeside resort, a popular destination for both locals and international visitors, is hoping to capitalize on the traditionally busy Easter period, running promotions from April 2 to April 6.
The tiered pricing structure offers options to suit a variety of budgets, starting at $139 per night for a Deluxe Room and extending to $684 for the Presidential Suite. Other room categories include Double Deluxe Rooms ($188), Studio Rooms ($225), Superior Rooms ($250), Junior Suites ($330), Executive Rooms ($250), Garden Villas ($399), and Executive Suites ($436).
What sets the Munyonyo package apart is its full-board basis, encompassing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the resort’s signature Easter Sunday brunch – a draw for Kampala’s social and corporate circles. Beverages are not included in the package price, a common practice within the industry.
Beyond the accommodations and dining, guests will have complimentary access to the resort’s leisure facilities, including a swimming pool, gymnasium, steam room, and sauna. The resort’s location on Lake Victoria and its expansive grounds, which include an equestrian center and lakeside walkways, offer a “coastal holiday without leaving Uganda,” according to industry observers.
Uganda’s tourism industry relies heavily on domestic travel during holidays like Easter, with hotels in Kampala, Entebbe, and Jinja competing for local business. Analysts note that staycation campaigns are increasingly important for balancing fluctuations in international tourism.
Speke Resort Munyonyo has a history of hosting major international summits, further solidifying its reputation as a premier leisure destination. The current promotion positions the resort as a luxury urban escape, offering a hassle-free holiday experience for Kampala residents seeking a break from the city.
According to promotional materials, the resort is aiming to provide value for families and travelers across different budgets. The Easter Sunday brunch, in particular, is expected to be a key attraction. https://eagle.co.ug/2026/03/16/speke-resort-munyonyo-unveils-family-filled-easter-sunday-brunch-experience/
