We did a 2 week tour of Uganda for our delayed honeymoon. We had to make some adjustments to our plans because of changing COVID-19 restrictions, and adding a day at the end of the trip to allow for time to process our COVID test was one of those changes. We had our test and then headed to the Papyrus lodge to spend a day and a half in this garden retreat. Our whole trip, we did not encounter many guests at any of the lodges we stayed at, but the attention we received from the people at Papyrus made us feel like we were the most important guests they'd had. They made the last couple days of our honeymoon special in a different, relaxing, way. The hotel is a nice garden retreat just 15 minutes form the airport. Rooms are comfortable, the outdoor spaces are beautiful. Matthew helped us check in, and was on call the entire time we were in the hotel. He served us all our meals, all of which were delicious, and tried to fulfill our requests. For our second dinner, we asked is dessert was an option, and he asked if we liked bananas and said he would talk to the chef about coming up with something. We were surprised by these delicious caramel, cinnamon, banana pancake dessert! They ensured we had transportation ready to go to the airport on the day of our flight,...We did a 2 week tour of Uganda for our delayed honeymoon.

They ensured we had transportation ready to go to the airport on the day of our flight, and explained all the security check points and steps along the way. Since we were supposed to be in isolation after our COVID test, we did not take advantage of the proximity to the botanical gardens or lake Victoria, but Matthew talked to us about those options, and we will be sure to check them out when we come back!More
