I will definitely recommend Villa Karibu to anyone

My stay at Villa Karibu felt like home, the staffs are all amazing, the location is very convenient to lots of amenities. I am definitely going back next year. Brian, Josephine, and Emma are amazing, they love children, even now when our son shows the pictures and videos Brian and Josephine took, he smiles. I still communicate with Brian from time to time. My husband and I get to go out without worry, our baby is in a good hands. I will recommend this place to anyone planning to visit Kampala. It's very safe especially for foreigners.
