Company info

Originally from Madagascar and France, I first came to Uganda to visit my family and fell in love with Uganda, which deserves its name as the pearl of Africa! To be close to my guests at all times, I live in Carpe Diem with my family.

Property info

This Guest House is a matter of love and evolution. What started out as a small cafe that serves light meals and a superb cafe is now a restaurant and a full guesthouse. Our small team is there to make you feel like at home, welcome to everybody!

Neighborhood info

Entebbe is a small town on the shores of Lake Victoria and Carpe Diem is one of the best spots to marvel at the sunset on the lake. The location is fabulous not only for this reason, but also because we are very close to the city center close to shops, banks, pharmacies and 10 minutes drive from the airport.
