Planning to take part in the 2026 Tusker Lite Rwenzori Marathon or visit the Theluji Expo in Kasese? There is still time to secure your stay in one of Uganda's most beautiful community tourism destinations.
Apparently, many people fear about lack of accommodation during the marathon that is taking place on 22nd August 2026. We confirm that by today, 5th August 2926, we still have plenty of guestrooms available for booking on thse days stretching between 21st to 23rd August, the time that covers the marathon.
Ruboni Tourism Village, located just 24 km from Kasese Town off the well-maintained Kasese–Fort Portal Road, still has around 50 beds available across its network of ten community-owned and operated accommodations. Visitors can choose from comfortable eco-lodges, community camps, homestays, apartments, and scenic campsites, all set at the foothills of the magnificent Rwenzori Mountains National Park.
Recognized as a UN Tourism (UNWTO) Best Tourism Village and a Pearl of Africa Tourism Awards winner, Ruboni Tourism Village offers much more than accommodation. It is the perfect place to relax before or recover after the marathon while enjoying authentic community experiences, breathtaking mountain scenery, and rich Bakonzo culture.
