Furnished apartments, Airbnb-style stays and guest houses across Gulu — Gulu city centre, Senior Quarters & Pece — booked direct from local hosts. Space, a kitchen and a proper base.
Gulu is the largest city in northern Uganda and the hub for the whole Acholi region — a busy NGO, university and trading centre on the road to South Sudan. Furnished apartments and guesthouses here serve development staff, business travellers and visitors heading to Murchison Falls or Kidepo.
