“In 1949 our grandfather died of cancer, leaving our mother, Martha, a six-year-old orphan. He left her a piece of land that later, as a single mother of three, she did not have the resources to develop. When our mother passed away in 1999, she left this land to us, her children, and we have since worked to commemorate mum's devotion. We are now thrilled to introduce Martha's Farmhouse. As a family, we built the farmhouse, named it after mum and surrounded it with a coffee, vanilla and banana farm. We are proud that Martha's Farmhouse is a hospitality social enterprise open to paying guests and the largest employer in the village. All produce is locally sourced improving community livelihoods and protecting the environment. We hope our story inspires you, and our family would love to host you.” -

from Martha’s children and grandchildren.

Martha’s Farmhouse is a private, serene and tranquil destination tucked away in Uganda’s countryside and designed to take the stress out of everyday life. Our service helps those looking for a slower pace, couples in need of a romantic hideaway, fun breaks with friends, those seeking a space to work and teams seeking a team-building space.

Located in Genda, a village in Mukono district, Martha’s Farmhouse offers high-end comfort, as well as plenty of fresh, relaxing tropical gardens, a private pool and glorious views.

We deliver something completely different - a sense of being miles away and yet we are just an hour away from both Kampala, Uganda’s lively capital and Jinja, were the Nile starts its journey. We are also within easy reach of Uganda’s main airport at Entebbe.

Because the privacy and comfort of our guests is paramount, Martha’s Farmhouse is only booked in its entirety.
