Stay With Us in Busu Village, Iganga – A True Uganda Village Homestays

Welcome to a different kind of travel experience. Nestled in the heart of rural Uganda, Busu Village offers Uganda Village Homestays opportunities for individuals and small groups who are curious, adventurous, and seeking authentic village life.

Whether you’re a backpacker, GAP year traveller, volunteer, expeditioner, or just someone looking for a peaceful break between safaris – our homestay experiences in Busu Village are designed to immerse you in real, everyday Ugandan life.

Stay Your Way – From Camping to Traditional Heritage Housing

 Camp in Nature
Bring your own tent or use one of ours and set up under the stars on the lush grass of our off-grid homestead. It’s a peaceful and grounding way to connect with nature and the local community.

Sleep in a Heritage Grass-Thatched Mud House
We also offer accommodation in our beautifully built traditional mud and grass-thatched house, updated with a modern twist—complete with solar power, cozy interiors, and a unique blend of heritage and sustainability.

Comfort in Simplicity

Our homestead combines traditional Ugandan living with sustainable, off-grid innovation:

• Outdoor Bathrooms & Modern Toilets
  Experience the comfort of our flush toilets and open-air bathrooms, thoughtfully designed to blend with nature. All water is sourced and powered by our off-grid water system, making your stay not only authentic but environmentally conscious.

• Traditional Outdoor Kitchen
  Step into our open-air, wood-fired kitchen, where meals are lovingly prepared using firewood and charcoal — just as they’ve been cooked in Ugandan homes for generations. Guests are welcome to watch, learn, or even help prepare delicious local dishes alongside our host family.

Get Involved: Learn Hands-On Skills with Our Busu Village Residents

During your stay, you’ll have the unique opportunity to roll up your sleeves and take part in everyday life alongside the friendly people of Busu. These interactive, hands-on sessions aren’t just activities — they’re windows into a rich and living culture.

Cook Traditional Ugandan Meals

Join local women in our outdoor kitchen and learn how to prepare beloved Ugandan dishes from scratch. From peeling matooke (green bananas) to simmering rich groundnut sauce, you’ll learn the techniques behind:

• Matooke

• Groundnut (peanut) sauce

• Posho (maize flour porridge)

• Sweet potatoes, greens, and local delicacies
  And of course, you’ll enjoy the meal together, served the traditional way.

Make Jewellery from Recycled Paper Beads

Take part in a creative and eco-friendly workshop where you’ll learn how to roll recycled paper into colorful, handcrafted beads — a skill passed down through generations. You’ll leave with your own handmade bracelet or necklace and a newfound appreciation for sustainable craftwork.

Discover Traditional Herbal Medicine

Step into the world of indigenous healing as local herbalists introduce you to Ugandan herbs and natural remedies used for generations. Learn how leaves, roots, and barks are used to treat common ailments — from colds and stomachaches to skin care and wellness tonics.

Whether you’re an explorer, a learner, or just curious, these workshops are a perfect way to connect with the community and take home skills, stories, and souvenirs that truly matter.
