Our Story

Where Ugandan hospitality meets luxury and community impact

Welcome to Kirungi

Nestled in the heart of Fort Portal, Uganda, Kirungi Tourism Hotel Apartments was born from a vision to create more than just a place to stay. We wanted to build a home away from home that celebrates our rich Tooro culture while providing world-class comfort and contributing meaningfully to our community.

Our name, "Kirungi," means "beautiful" in Rutooro, reflecting our commitment to creating beautiful experiences, beautiful spaces, and beautiful impacts in the lives of our guests and community members.

Each of our apartments is named after traditional Tooro cultural pet names, honoring our heritage and creating a unique connection between our guests and the local culture they're experiencing.
