Workation in Mbarara: the essentials

Mbarara is the commercial centre of south-western Uganda and, since 2020, a city in its own right, named after a tall grass that once covered the area. It lies in cattle country, where Ankole long-horn herds and dairies are part of the local economy, and a university of science and technology brings in students. Lake Mburo National Park is nearby, and the road continues towards the gorilla parks and Rwanda. The nearest major airport is Entebbe International, about 210 km away, so plan on a long road trip.
