Kampala Serena Hotel — board and city venue before a Uganda forest chapter

Uganda · 1–2 nights city + gorilla or savanna chapter

Kampala board morning, forest next

A working session at Kampala Serena or Speke Resort Munyonyo, then a scheduled flight west — the Uganda version of Nairobi-plus-bush.

How we run it

Entebbe is the gateway; Kampala is the meeting. We do not ask a board to think in a dusty mess tent unless they ask for it. The capital does the work; Bwindi or Queen Elizabeth does the memory.

Sheraton Kampala, Kampala Serena, Protea Skyz and Speke Munyonyo hold different scales. Munyonyo is the conference and gala bed. Serena is the board. We will not mix those products quietly.

What is included

— Closed session in a Kampala or Munyonyo five-star with AV that works
— Scheduled flight or road west written as a real travel day, not a footnote
— Lodge or gorilla chapter that starts after a sleep, not after the last slide

What we will not do

— No trek on landing day from Europe or the US.
— Conference-scale AV belongs at Munyonyo or Serena, not in a six-room forest camp.
