Uganda House Location
Conrad Hilton of Hilton Hotels was quoted as saying that there are three major things that contribute to
a successful business enterprise and they are LOCATION, LOCATION and LOCATION!
In terms of location it is difficult to imagine a better location than that of Uganda House,
being on Kampala Road, in the very heart of the Central Business District of Kampala, with all major banks in close proximity and Kampala City Hall, the Bank of Uganda and
the Parliament Buildings only a five minute stroll away.
